The election between Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in Michigan is extremely stagnant; Trump’s team questioned the sudden spike in the large number of votes mailed in support of Biden in Michigan the next morning after election night, nearly 1: 3. The ratio is counted.
Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien (Bill Stepien) said on Wednesday that Michigan continues to count votes cast after Election Day, making Michigan’s presidential election very tense.
Stephen said: “Although protected by Michigan law, President Trump’s campaign team did not have the opportunity to go to various counting points (to monitor the count) and was unable to observe the start of the vote and the voting process. counting in a valuable way. “
“We have filed a lawsuit with the Michigan Court of Claims today, requesting that the counting of votes be suspended until we (obtain) meaningful access. We also request that those that have begun to be counted unsupervised votes be reviewed,” Stephen said.
He added: “President Trump is committed to ensuring that all legitimate votes are counted in Michigan and elsewhere.”
It is reported that when the Trump campaign announced a lawsuit against Michigan in the afternoon, the Associated Press ballot information showed that Biden was ahead of Trump in Michigan. Biden received 49.5% of the votes and Trump received 48.8% of the votes. The difference in the number of votes between the two is less than 38,000 votes.
So far, Michigan has made a total of 94% of the vote count.
The American outlet Daily Caller asked the Michigan State Council on Wednesday why the vote for Biden soared in the morning. The other party declined to give an explanation.
A spokesman for the Michigan State Department said: “We cannot speculate.”
In addition to Michigan, the Trump campaign also filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, demanding that subsequent mailed votes from Pennsylvania be counted.
Michigan and Pennsylvania are Democratic states. Democrats have always argued that the vote-by-mail option is necessary to comply with public health recommendations to reduce gatherings caused by the pandemic. They also argued that ballots received after, or sealed before, or on Election Day should be counted so as not to deprive voters of their right to vote.
But President Trump and Republican lawmakers have warned that the fraud of expanding absentee ballots and sending vote-by-mail ballots has matured, and it is unfair to count these ballots after Election Day.
Many key states, such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, allow the counting of votes received after Election Day, creating great uncertainty about when the results of the 2020 elections can be announced.
Trump addressed his supporters at the White House early Wednesday morning and said the campaign team will appeal to the United States Supreme Court. I hope all the (late) voting stops.
“We are going to the US Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find votes at 4 am and add them to the list,” Trump said.
The Supreme Court had previously hinted that it could review a lawsuit filed by Republicans in Pennsylvania that challenged the vote count that came in after Election Day. The Pennsylvania Federal Court accepted the demands of the Democrats in the state and ruled in September that election officials can accept mail and absentee ballots within three days of the Nov.3 election.
Republicans, including the Trump campaign, opposed this extension, arguing that it violated federal law. The law stipulated the day of the elections. The decision to change the elections was constitutionally the property of Congress, not the court.
Although the United States Supreme Court rejected the Republicans’ request to archive the state court ruling and also rejected the request for speedy consideration of the case, some justices have made it clear that the issues raised in the case are of ” national importance “. It is very likely that it violates the Federal Constitution. “
