The attorney who brought a lawsuit against Wayne County and Detroit election officials this week claimed at a hearing Wednesday that local election officials had failed to refute claims of election fraud leveled against them and stated his right to ask the court to intervene to block certification of the election results.
The lawsuit, filed by attorney David Kallman, also asks the court to void the Nov. 3 election and order a new one.
Lawyers representing local election officials denied the claims of fraud and argued that the case, if allowed to proceed, would disenfranchise voters, give credence to election conspiracies and potentially prevent Michigan from being able to appoint electors in time to cast the state’s Electoral College votes.
Wayne County Circuit Chief Judge Timothy M. Kenny promised to issue his ruling Friday.
