On Nov. 4, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit to stop vote counting until Republican observers were given adequate access. A judge denied the request the following day. The Trump campaign then filed a motion asking for the state’s court of appeal to review the case.

On Nov. 9, The Great Lakes Justice Center filed a lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court which alleged voter fraud in the ballot-counting process. The suit alleges that election officials allowed fraudulent processing of votes such as backdating ballots and nor verifying ballot signatures. Multiple witnesses have filed affidavits to the alleged voter fraud. Two poll watchers were seeking a temporary hold on ballot counting, gold on certification of election results, and order an audit. On Nov. 11, the judge heard oral arguments over the plaintiff’s motion ultimately deciding to deny it. The plaintiffs then attempt to appeal the judge’s decision in the Michigan State Court of Appeals, who also reject the appeal. Now, the plaintiffs are attempting to appeal the Michigan State Court of Appeal’s decision to the Michigan Supreme Court.
