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.

DETROIT – The Republican-controlled Michigan Legislature is seeking to intervene in a major court decision that will allow absentee ballots to be counted days after the election. The House and Senate want to join the case and appeal the decision. State law normally requires absentee ballots to be received by the time polls close on Election Day, not days later. Michigan's absentee ballots will flood local governments after voters in 2018 expanded eligibility. “We want to get as many ballots in by 8 p.m. on Election Day," Benson told The Associated Press.

The decision is significant in a state that is anticipating waves of absentee ballots this fall; about 2.3 million have already been requested. For absentee ballots to be counted, Michigan law requires them to be received by the time polls close on Election Day. “With the November election quickly approaching, voters and local clerks need certainty — and these decisions provide that,” Jarvi said. Separately, a federal judge on Thursday blocked Michigan's longstanding ban on transporting voters to the polls. “Congress implemented a statutory scheme and gave citizens the right to spend money on transporting voters to the polls,” Davis said.

LANSING, Mich. – A judge on Friday cleared the way for more absentee ballots to be counted in Michigan, saying envelopes postmarked by the eve of the Nov. 3 election are eligible, even if they show up days later.

For absentee ballots to be counted, Michigan law requires them to be received by the time polls close on Election Day. But Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens said there's a crucial need for flexibility in November, especially after more than 6,400 ballots were disqualified in the state's August primary election. The state's top election official, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, also a Democrat, had been urging the Republican-controlled Legislature to allow the counting of absentee ballots that arrive two days after the election.
