A Group of Michigan Voters has Sued Trump and his Re-Election Campaign, asserting the Trump's Legal Challenges to the 2020 Election Violated the Rrights of Black Voters.
In a Lawsuit filed in D.C. Federal Court, Friday Nov.20th, the Group alleged the Trump Campaign is attempting Mass Voter Suppression, particularly among Black Voters, by pressuring Election Officials into Not Certifying the Election Results in their State.
"Repeating false claims of voter fraud, which have been thoroughly debunked, Defendants are pressuring state and local officials in Michigan not to count votes from Wayne County, Michigan (where Detroit is the county seat), and thereby disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters," the Lawsuit stated. "Defendants’ tactics repeat the worst abuses in our nation’s history, as Black Americans were denied a voice in American democracy for most of the first two centuries of the Republic."
The Lawsuit aimed to Halt any Efforts by the Trump Campaign and Trump to Push State Officials into Canceling their Ballots or Appointing Electors who do Not Represent the Election Results in their State, which is against a Supreme Court Desision.
It cited Numerous Efforts to Cast Doubt on the Election, from Trump's Personal Tweets to a White House Meeting Friday between Republican State Lawmakers and Trump.
The Plaintiffs included Three Black Residents of Detroit: Teasha K. Jones; Nicole L. Hill; and Maureen Taylor, who Voted in this year's Election, as well as the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization. The Plaintiffs are Represented by Lawyers from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
Democratic President-Elect, Joe Biden, Won Michigan by about 150,000 Votes. Biden's Lead was particularly notable in Wayne County, where he was ahead of Trump by more than 332,000 Votes.
The Trump Campaign's Legal challenges in a Number of Key Swing States have been Dismissed by Judges as Meritless. The Trump Campaign Rescinded its own Lawsuit on Thursday Challenging the Michigan Election Results. Their Suit cited Two Republican Wayne County Officials who Declined to Certify the Election Tally Tuesday Evening. But the Officials did end up Certifying the Election only hours later. Then Lawyers for Detroit asked a Judge to Strike the Campaign’s Claims in their Withdrawn Lawsuit from the Record as a Sanction for Spreading disinformation.
