Judge denies plaintiff effort to block Michigan vote certification; watch for the media spin UPDATE: GOP state senators chime in

Earlier today Michigan Judge Timothy Kenny denied a legal effort to block the states vote certification. Big Media and Swampy lawyers count on the possibility you do not have access to these documents. This is why I publish them for you when other news sites lack the courage to do so.

Watch for the "spin" from voices this is a loss for President Trump and sound gleeful about a loss for the Trump campaign. .

On the contrary when you read the opinion you'll notice the plaintiffs who filed the action (case 20-014-780-AW; Third Judicial Court of Michigan) are Costantino and McCall, NOT the Trump campaign.

The two plaintiffs now have a legal document from Judge Timothy Kenny describing the Michigan election process as unwieldy, the wishes of the people expressed through their state legislature must prevail and cannot be changed at the whim of a judge through judicial fiat.


"it would be an unprecedented exercise of judicial activism for this court to stop the certification process of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. The Court cannot defy a legislatively crafted process, substitute its judgement for the legislature and appoint an independent auditor  because of an unwieldy process. 

In addition to being an unwarranted intrusion on the authority of the legislature, such an audit would require the rest of the County and State to wait on the results. Remedies are provided to the Plaintiffs. Any unhappiness with MCL 168.31a (a results audit passed by the state legislature) calls for legislative action rather than judicial intervention.

Plaintiffs can go to the Wayne County Board of Canvassers. If they are dissatisfied with the results Plaintiffs can avail themselves of the legal remedy of a recount and a Secretary of State audit pursuant to MCL168.31a"

Here's the best part. See the highlighted portion about attending the October 29th walk-through of the TCF Center.


















This is not a final order and does not close the case.

Remember the letter County Examiner shared yesterday? 

Hmmm. Judge Kenny wagged his finger at the Plaintiffs for not attending the October 29 TCF walk-through. What was Clerk Winfrey's response to the letter below. Can you connect the dots yet?






















UPDATE: GOP State Senators from Michigan chimed in requesting the full audit be completed before the election results are certified.
