Trump Supporters Hang Their Hopes on Flurry of Lawsuits
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has filed more than a dozen lawsuits in Michigan that aim to stave off the state’s certification of election results. The campaign’s attorneys have mostly focused on what happened inside of the TCF Center in Detroit, where the city’s ballots were tabulated. Today, we talk about the allegations laid out in the latest filings and the strength of the legal arguments behind them.
GUESTS:
Rick Pluta is Capitol bureau chief for the Michigan Public Radio Network.
Sam Bagenstos is a law professor at the University of Michigan who specializes in constitutional law and civil rights litigation.
