Here’s one of the federal court complaints.

The allegations are basically that MI officials allowed the fraud to take place by denying the GOP officials their rights to observe and participate in the process. It also alleges that Wayne Co. counted illegal ballots. It looks to be pretty well-drafted for the remedy it seeks.

Plaintiff’s counsel is identified as Mark F. (Thor) Hearne, II.

He appears to have some experience in election law.

Co-counsel is Stephen S. Davis.

Now, they are not household names like Rudy or even well-known players like Sekulow and Bondi. But they do appear to have some expertise in election law.

This filing is an almost perfect example of what I'm talking about.

There isn't a single allegation of fraud. The worst that can be said is some votes were counted where the election worker made a different judgment call than the affiant.

The complaints are all about dissatisfaction with how processes were implemented. Were the observers close enough to have "meaningful" access, etc.

And the submitted affidavits are a hot mess. The Blaze actually did a pretty thorough review of the them. You should read their analysis. Here's an excerpt:

"This list constitutes the entire body of potential actual fraud allegations raised in the affidavits. The testimony contained in these affidavits clearly pertains to fewer than 1,000 total ballots, although it should be noted that numerous affiants complained that they were not able to see what was happening because they were required to maintain six feet of social distance or because people were in their way.
Some (most?) of the allegations in the affidavit concern allegations that GOP poll watchers were treated differently (worse) than Democratic poll watchers, or that the majority of the people in the room were Democrats or were friendlier to the Democrats. Although these allegations are at least potentially relevant politically (albeit they are not tremendously surprising in Wayne County), they do not directly pertain to the issue of voter fraud, so I have not included them in this list, although you may certainly peruse them and draw your own conclusions.
The material in the affidavits alleging an "atmosphere" of intimidation and hostility toward the GOP poll workers is voluminous. I would estimate that it constitutes a significant portion of the material in the affidavits. I have not repeated most of it here because it does not directly establish or allege voter fraud."

If the goal is to get a judge to stop the certification process they need something way more substantial than complaints from a bunch of poll watchers that they weren't treated as well as they would have liked.

If, on the other hand, the goal is to throw a bunch of dust in the air and generate some good old outrage to enhance fund raising, well...

Here’s one of the federal court complaints.

LOL. It appears that in addition to the District Court in Michigan they also filed this in the US Court of Federal Claims in DC which only hears monetary claims against the federal government and has zero jurisdiction in this case.

I'm sure Thor has a cunning plan...
