Michigan court rejects pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell's voter fraud case in Michigan

A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit by pro-Trump laywer Sidney Powell in Michigan arguing the results of the  November elections were incorrect as a result of voter fraud and the Dominion Voting System.

The suit asked the Eastern District of Michigan to stop the certification of the state’s results and to allow an audit of the machines, according to The Washington Times.

Judge Linda V. Parker rejected the request, saying the “safe harbor” date for resolving contested elections is Dec. 8 and that the plaintiffs filed too late, with state election officials having already certified the results. 

The Electoral College is set to convene Dec. 14.

Parker, appointed by former Democratic President Barack Obama, said in her opinion that the  suit attempted to “disenfranchise the votes of more than 5.5 million Michigan citizens who, with dignity, hope, and a promise of a voice, participated in the 2020 General Election,” The Times also reported.
