WASHINGTON – Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens says she will deny a request from President Trump’s campaign to stop counting ballots over a claim that a poll challenger was denied access to view ballots being counted.
Campaign officials said they were considering peppering a dozen other counties around the state with similar claims around absentee ballots.
Trump, addressing supporters at the White House early Wednesday, talked about taking the undecided race to the Supreme Court.
Democrat Al Gore asked for a recount and the Supreme Court stopped it.
To some election law experts, calling for the Supreme Court to intervene now seemed premature, if not rash.
