Trump Campaign Sues To Halt Vote Counting I’m Michigan
Socialites, get a load of this! This Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s campaign announced that it has filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the counting of election ballots in Michigan until it is given access to observe the tabulation process.
Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien alleged that the President’s campaign had not been given “meaningful access” to observe the opening of ballots at multiple locations, The Hill reports. Stepien even released a statement saying,
“As votes in Michigan continue to be counted, the presidential race in the state remains extremely tight as we always knew it would be,” said Stepien. “President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law.” He added, “We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted. We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access. President Trump is committed to ensuring that all legal votes are counted in Michigan and everywhere else.”
While this story is still developing, Trump’s campaign has also made a request for a recount in Winsconsin, where unofficial results give Joe Biden a narrow lead of around 20,000 votes, with most votes counted. As the Washington Post reports, Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe actually rejected the idea that there have been irregularities in the state’s count. Instead, Wolfe told reporters Wednesday that the election “proceeded in a very normal fashion.”
