Michigan Supreme Court denies Trump case over election challengers

Source: Detroit News

Lansing — The Michigan Supreme Court declined Friday to consider an appeal from President Donald Trump's campaign over the access provided to election challengers at TCF Center, where Detroit's absentee ballots were countered.

"The application for leave to appeal the Dec. 4, 2020, order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is denied, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court," the Michigan Supreme Court ordered in what appeared to be a unanimous decision.

The Republican president's campaign had asked Michigan's high court to find Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson violated the state Constitution and election law because challengers' observations of the absentee ballot counting and ballot drop boxes were allegedly inhibited by local clerks and, by extension, Benson.

Officials at the TCF Center in Detroit have repeatedly said challengers were given adequate access to the counting process.

When I ballot my ballots I start with a sandwich bag,
and it must be Zipplock or the election is thrown out.
Then, I eat one fat marshmallow and thourowly lick the top right
edge of the ballot. It will stick better.
If the watchers aren't around I check to see if it's a Biden or a Trump.
Trumps are dutifully counted.
Bidens go into the sticky bag and then off to the river rock dumpster box.
