Trump Campaign Files Suit In Michigan To Halt Vote Count
By Associated PressPresident Donald Trump’s campaign said it has filed a lawsuit trying to halt the vote count in battleground Michigan. The latest counts give Trump’s Democratic challenger Joe Biden a small lead, but the race is still too early to call.
Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement this afternoon that the campaign “has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law.”
He said a suit was filed today in the Michigan Court of Claims “to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted.” Michigan is a critical state that helped deliver Trump the presidency four years ago.
