A federal lawsuit filed Friday against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson calls for Michigan to “re-run” the 2020 presidential election over unproven and debunked claims of election fraud nearly two years after Michigan voters elected now-President Joe Biden by more than 150,000 votes.

In the complaint, lawyers allege the election should not have been certified by the Board of State Canvassers due to the voting software used in some counties.

Specifically, the lawsuit states that since 24 counties use voting software not certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, election results in all of Michigan’s 83 counties should not have been certified. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, asks a judge to invalidate the Board of State Canvassers' certification of the 2020 election and have the election take place again. It's unclear how an election would be re-done in such a circumstance.

But Michigan law gives the responsibility to certify election software to the Board of State Canvassers, not the EAC. Election experts have said the suit's allegations don't add up, highlighting the various steps officials take ahead of elections to ensure they are accurate and secure, and noting that Michigan law does not require EAC certification.

"If you have a problem with the technology that's being used, you know what the technology is. You can bring a lawsuit in advance of the election. People did that in Georgia. Those lawsuits failed as well," Becker said.

"But that wasn't done in Michigan. You can't come two years after an election that you don't like the result of and claim not to have liked the technology that you knew was being used and you could have challenged at the time."

I think folks are getting really tired of these sore losers tying up the courts with these cockamamie, frivolous lawsuits. I know I am.

1. Start disbarring people. Watch this bullshit go away. You notice Powell shut her mouth.

3. I wish I could share your optimism...

I cannot, on a ToS level, say what I believe is necessary, because I believe, at some point in the Trump regime, the MAGAts (as I call them) shoved "all in".

I don't think simply disbarring people is going to work, because a lot of these people basically work as a part of a charade of "justice" to finish what they started while their God is in exile at Mar-a-Lago.

4. They can't file suits in court if they're not licensed to practice law.

5. Try and stop them.

You think most of these people respect law or anything not written in crayon?

6. Ask the kraken how it worked out for her.

2. Gosh . . .

the only voter fraud that comes up are from Republicans, and of course all this gas-lighting. Constant claims of voter fraud are from so call "Christians" and I presume their GAWD is ok with lies, stealing and cheating.
