Judge in Michigan denies GOP request to halt Wayne County certification of election results


Judge Timothy Kenny of Michigan's Third Circuit Court  rejected a request by Republican poll challengers for an injunction against finalizing the election results in Wayne County which is the state's largest county.

Judge Kenny said the GOP lawsuit's claims of widespread voter fraud were "incorrect and not credible."

In a 13-page decision Judge Kenny said he found found witness testimony in support of the lawsuit unbelievable, and that stopping the vote count would harm the public interest.

"This Court finds that there are legal remedies for Plaintiffs to pursue and there is no harm to Plaintiffs if the injunction is not granted," Kenny wrote. "There would be harm, however, to the Defendants if the injunction is granted."

Plaintiffs' affiants did not have full understanding of TCF absent ballot tabulation.” Judge Kenny denied all motions, including one for an independent audit.

It’s the third time that a judge has refused to intervene in crucial steps that are necessary to certify the broader Michigan voting totals, which gave Joe Biden a crucial victory over President Donald Trump by more than 140,000 votes.
