The private citizens who had filed a federal lawsuit to try to get all of the votes cast in three Michigan counties in the recent presidential election thrown out have given up before the case could be heard.
Yesterday, the plaintiffs filed paperwork with the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to have the case dismissed.
They had alleged that there was so much vote fraud in Wayne, Washtenaw and Ingham Counties that all of the ballots cast there should be disallowed. If successful, 1.2 million votes would have been invalidated, and Michigan’s electors would have been awarded to Donald Trump, instead of Joe Biden.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said the case was “clearly designed to spread misinformation about the security and integrity of Michigan elections.”
None of the lawsuits challenging the Michigan vote have produced any credible evidence of fraud.
Today is the deadline for individual counties to certify their vote totals. Most have already done so.
