Wayne County Judge Rejects Request For Detroit Election Audit

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.

judge is supposed to sit between the two sides 8n a dispute and TRY THE EVIDENCE. This judge is literally favoring one side without trying the evidence at all.

In a nutshell, that is what this is.

“Four guys signed affidavits that they saw Joe rape Judy, and she has the bruises to prove it. But my good and trusted friend (and friend of Joe) said he was there and nothing happened, so I’m throwing it out.”

In essence, that’s the kind of decision he made.

"I assume as the lower courts reject the lawsuits, they will eventually end up at SCOTUS."

Yep...they have to go through the judicial process.

The ruling can be appealed.

Corruption in Wayne county and Detroit is legendary.

the states will vote one state caucus at a time.
and there are about 30-35 republican states in caucuses at the house.

McCarthy will whip them till they bleed if need be.
and if it all comes down to them, Trump will win.

Truth is the representatives are where the election ALWAYS has taken place... the full electoral college failsafe is in the house of representatives.

it’s over all right...
duma$$ biden, will NEVER be president.

Of course if we follow the constitution, the dems will say we stole the election again.. whats new.

Losers will riot.
What’s new?

Martial law in Red states will keep the peace.
Blue states will burn down at their own preference.

things will be settled sometime end of next year, violence wise.

In the wonderful world of accounting only about 3% of fraud is discovered by outside auditors. Internal auditors do a little better at around 12%

Th w truth is that what was presented by the plaintiff was just the tip of the iceberg.

Did you hear that? Hours I tells ya- hours! Never mind that it took days to count votes- this fella determined within hours, in one polling place a presume, that no fraud could possibly have taken place-

What our side needs is proof positive that ballots were indeed backdated- which is a federal crime I believe? Then let’s see a judge say ‘Nope- no evidence of fraud not even a smidgen” with a straight face-

I did not know that cat owners sometimes lived under the bridge, with family members...

the dems are slitting their own throat.
The court stuff is just required the boilerplate stuff to move this through the supreme court, state representative caucuses via the Constitutional process we are witnessing which has been done TWICE before.

you and your will squall like a dying cat...
and scream about stealing the election via the constitutional process.

America will never be socialist.
Biden will never live in the whitehouse... and democrats will eat their own in their internal civil war... already in process.

salty tears taste good when it is your enemy’s tears.

I am also not surprised. This is an elected state court judge from Wayne County (Detroit), Michigan. There is no way that he would go against the local political establishment.

This will be appealed before it moves up the ladder to SCOTUS.

Excellent Post.
I agree. Trump, like most of us have had Wins & Loses in our lives. I believe he will be victoriousin in the end.
Civic duty is not that difficult. It generally comes around every 2 years. I myself enjoy the process. That being said...I believe if the Left is allowed to take this election. Voting down the road any further is just P*ssing in the wind. Glad to see your not throwing in the towel. Your one of the sharper knives in the drawer around here. :) That aint say much. No offense to you!

Yet more proof that some judges are integrity-free.

Think of this as the Star Wars Trilogy. 2016 was when Trump knocked out the Death Star. 2020 was when the Empire Struck Back. And 2024 will be The Return of the Jedi.

Little by little? The Left has been coasting to victory with virtually no pushback from the “loyal opposition” GOP. Lefties don’t do anything little. They cheat big. They win big. Our nation is about to suck in perpetuity.

I can’t believe people here really believe that the Supreme Court of the US is going to do anything to help Trump. Honesty and faithfulness to our country and the Constitution are no longer in vogue.

Part of the plan of this coup by the left was to have the Supreme Court set their seal on this theft. Keep praying. No one down here is going to be able to stop such evil. Only powers from The Heavenlys.

Never, in a trillion, billion, million years will the Republican legislatures vote to send their own electors “in defiance of the people’s vote” (even though said vote is totally fraudulent and didn’t actually happen the way the totals say).

Anyone counting on the R Legislatures riding in on a white horse to save the day is likely to be really disappointed.

But WILL it be appealed? I haven't heard ONE PEEP from our side saying that it will be.

Color me skeptical, but we seem to be playing checkers at this point while the other side has gone full bore for blood and are taking NO prisoners while they're at it.
