Trump campaign says new lawsuit seeks to stop certification of Michigan election results [View all]
https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/10/trump-lawsuit-stop-certification-election-results/6240698002/The campaign of President Donald Trump said Tuesday it is suing Michigan in federal court in an effort to prevent final certification of the state's election results, as Trump continues to refuse to concede to Joe Biden or accept the outcome of the race for the presidency.
The allegations of election misconduct are similar to those outlined in other lawsuits in Michigan and additional states. These lawsuits have largely not been successful; some incorporate allegations that have been debunked or refuted, either by the Free Press or elections officials.
Attorneys for the Trump campaign said late afternoon the new lawsuit would be filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. Although the bulk of the allegations appear to focus on Detroit, located on the other side of the state, the seat of state government in Lansing is located in the Western District.
As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, the lawsuit was not available in the federal court's online document system.
