The Washington Times reports that the Trump campaign has dropped its federal lawsuit in Michigan, by which it challenged over a million mail-in ballots in the hope of preventing the state government from certifying the election result. It is clearly a face-saving measure: The suit had no chance of success, and the rationale the campaign has given for dropping the case is inaccurate.
The campaign claimed that the lawsuit was being withdrawn “as a direct result of achieving the relief we sought,” which Rudy Giuliani, the president’s lawyer, described as “to stop the election in Wayne County from being prematurely certified before residents can be assured that every legal vote has been counted and every illegal vote has not been counted.” He was alluding to the announcement by the two Republican members of the canvass board in Wayne County that they would like, yet again, to reverse themselves.
