Trump's election fraud: Michigan vs Minnesota
In a lawsuit seeking to stop the certification of Georgia's election, Trump's team presented supposed irregularities in vote counting in Michigan, which used the same voting machines as Georgia. However, many of the precincts listed in the filing are in Minnesota, not Michigan, and none of them had more votes than registered voters. Trump's lawyers have admitted to mistaking the two states, but did not explain where the numbers they presented came from. A federal judge dismissed the case".
