"President Trump, his legal team and his allies have endorsed excluding nearly 1 out of every 10 votes in the states that decided the 2020 election."

What would you say if you saw it in another country? https://t.co/nCuqMNepHh

Also I read somewhere that Trump's team pulled their claim in Michigan with Rudy saying it was unnecessary because they got the "relief" they wanted...but that they got no relief.


A link to them withdrawing:

Quote:“This morning we are withdrawing our lawsuit in Michigan as a direct result of achieving the relief we sought: to stop the election in Wayne County from being prematurely certified before residents can be assured that every legal vote has been counted and every illegal vote has not been counted," Giuliani said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers certified the election after two Republican members changed course. Originally, they voted against certifying the election.

Then, late Wednesday night, both Monica Palmer, the chair of the board, and William Hartmann, filed signed affidavits demanding to rescind their "yes" vote to certify the election results.


The Secretary of State's office said there is no legal mechanism for Palmer and Hartmann to rescind their vote. 

The next step in the process is for the Board of State Canvassers to meet and certify.

Trump and his "best people" are bad at everything.
