Trump campaign looses lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia

US courts have dismissed Trump campaign's lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia related to electoral malpractice. In Michigan, campaign had sought to stop counting of absentee ballots, while in Georgia it had alleged that even improper ballots were being counted. Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens Thursday rejected lawsuit, arguing that Michigan Secretary of State is t involved with local counting process.

A formal order would be issued on Friday. Multiple news networks have declared Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden winner in Michigan. relief that is being requested in substantial part is completely unavailable through secretary of state, Stephens said during oral hearing.

"Additionally, even if this relief were available, as opposed to when this suit was anunced yesterday morning and count was beginning, it was filed at 4 o'clock, at which point count had largely proceeded, I am told," she said.

In Georgia, Judge James F Bass dismissed lawsuit. "I'm denying request and dismissing petition,” Bass said. Trump campaign has also filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania and Nevada. It has demanded recounting of votes in Wisconsin.
