Wayne County Judge Timothy Kenny rejected a lawsuit seeking to halt Detroit election results from being certified.
MICHIGAN — A Wayne County judge has rejected a lawsuit aiming to stop the certification of Detroit-area election results.
Wayne County Judge Timothy Kenny on Friday rejected the lawsuit, which in part took issue with the city's handling of absentee ballots.
"Plaintiff's interpretation of events is incorrect and not credible," Kenny wrote in his ruling.
Kenny said that numerous affidavits from election challengers "paint a picture of sinister fraudulent activities occurring both openly in the TCF Center and under the cloak of darkness." But those claims are contradicted by highly-respected former state elections director Christopher Thomas, who spent hours at the center and presented different accounts.
"Perhaps if Plaintiff's election challenger affiants had attended the October 29, 2020, walk-through of the TCF Center ballot counting location, questions and concerns could have been answered in advance of Election Day," the judge said in his ruling.
Democratic President-Elect Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump by 146,000 votes in Michigan during the general election, according to unofficial election results. Michigan counties and the state Board of Canvassers have yet to certify the election results, however.
Friday's ruling marks the third time that a judge has declined intervening in the process to confirm election results in Michigan. Other lawsuits filed by Trump's campaign sought to stop the counting of ballots and asked for challengers to have additional access to ballot processing.
The lawsuit rejected on Friday claimed Republican challengers were removed from the TCF Center in Detroit while absentee ballots were being processed. It also claimed ballots were backdated and that signatures on ballot envelopes were not verified.
Election officials have said they allowed the maximum number of poll watchers for both political parties, with the only restrictions being put in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In interviews with workers at the TCF Center in Detroit, where ballots were counted, election officials told Patch off few irregularities, instead noting only "aggressive" and uninformed challengers.
Someone mad an interesting point about SCOTUS today. If Biden is inaugurated and the Dems. go-ahead with their plans to stack the court, those 9 voices will just be a blip in a sea of many voices. They will be diminished.
It will get sent there. Wait and see... esper was fired for several reasons.
Martial law is anticipated was one of them.
Wouldn't THAT be a twist.
Then again, you'd need to add: WI, MI, AZ and NV to the list of States not sending electors, and as much as I'd love to see that happen, I don't think we'll see even PA hold their electors back..
It’s a nasty thought, but they would have to take the Senate in order to do that. That’s why the January run-offs have to be protected from fraud.
I assume the legislators in each of these states will act based on what the constituents in their district want. Trump supporters are going to be calling in to their legislators in a big way very soon (if not already). And these legislators will be up for re-election at some point, right?
Granted, there’s pressure for a legislator not to go against a certified result in their state. But there’s also pressure to get re-elected by your constituents.
>>>It’s Trump and more than half the country against a corrupt government<<<
It’s Trump and LESS than half the country against a corrupt government.
Joementia got 2-3 Million MORE Votes than POTUS Trump.
Of course many of those were Illegal Votes, but MORE than half the Country doesn’t care. Their Team is getting in and that’s all that matters.
We expected to lose in the lower courts.
Hey...sorry to snap at you. I feel strongly about it, and I lost my temper. I didn’t need to be uncivil about it.
You have your opinion, and it is true the world rarely ends, at least in the traditional sense.
Sorry.
Dave Kallman the lawyer bringing suit expected this outcome. He will file an appeal Monday morning. Hopes to receive a ruling Monday night, Tuesday morning.
Liberal Demonrat judges
No apology necessary.
It’s a tough time for all of us.
I never had any doubt that we are on the same team so no offense taken.
Thanks...I appreciate it.
Even they had walked through the day before, the Democrats would have changed everything overnight.
Yes, they cheat and cheat often. They cheat everytime they can. Since most of them have no morals anytime there is anything they perceive as valuable (money, power, sex, etc...) they attempt to cheat.
