A state judge on Thursday dismissed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit seeking to halt the counting of absentee ballots in Michigan.
Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens said during a hearing she would be rejecting the campaign’s lawsuit, filed the previous day, that alleged Republican officials had been denied access to video of ballot drop boxes.
Stephens said she aims to issue a written decision on Friday afternoon.
The Associated Press and several networks have declared Democratic nominee Joe Biden the winner in Michigan.
The judge said the lawsuit, filed against Michigan’s secretary of state, was insufficient in part because that office is not involved with the local counting process at the heart of the Trump campaign’s complaint.
She also said there would be little recourse available for the campaign at this stage because the vote-counting process was nearly complete.
