That suit, one of dozens in the sweeping effort by #Trump’s campaign & allies to challenge #Biden’s victory, alleged that state ofcls had schemed to “fraudulently & illegally manipulate the vote count.”
A district court in #Michigan in Dec 2020 rejected the lawsuit’s call for ofcls to decertify the state’s true election results & falsely certify Trump as having won MI.
#SidneyPowell, #LinWood # several other #lawyers who advanced #Trump’s false claims of a stolen election will face #legal penalties after #SCOTUS declined to take up their appeal.
The penalties — upwards of $130k in legal fees incurred by the #election ofcls they sued, + referrals to their state #bar assns for discipline — stem from a lawsuit the lawyers filed in #Michigan in Nov 2020.
