Trump campaign files lawsuit in Michigan, demands recount in Wisconsin

The Trump campaign has requested a recount of the Wisconsin ballots, which could take up two weeks if 2016 is any measure. This decision is the result of reports that 200,000 ballots were dumped overnight giving Biden a lead when Trump was clearly the front runner last evening, raising concerns.

It remains to be seen whether a recount will occur in Wisconsin which could possibly change the tide for Trump as it did in 2016. One thing is clear, however. The questioning of the validity of the American electoral process has become a prevalent issue since 2016 and continues to be one.

The Trump campaign also fille a lawsuit in Michigan to observe the counting of ballots.

In a statement, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said, "President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law. We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted. We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access."

Americans could be looking at a prolonged legal battle between the Biden and Trump campaigns over who the clear victor will be.

Wisconsin and Michigan shenanigans 

Trump supporters across the U.S. woke up to an entirely different electoral outcome than that of the previous night, showing a massive ballot dump in Michigan of over 200,000 votes favoring, all favoring Biden.

According to reporting by the Gateway Pundit, Trump's significant lead in Michigan quickly changed overnight following an additional 200,000 votes being counted for Biden, which it suggests is evidence of possible voter fraud. Officials have called the sudden jump in Biden votes a 'typo,' claiming Shiawassee County ballots for Biden at 153,710 when in reality the real number is 15,371.

Donald Trump was also poised to take Wisconsin, which has since changed following ballot results reported this morning. The Gateway Pundit also reports that there was a sizeable uptick in Biden votes overnight after the final count was repeatedly delayed in Milwaukee to 3:30 AM.

While none of this is direct proof of voter fraud, it does raise plenty of questions in the minds of Trump voters who seemed assured that a Trump victory was imminent when they last looked at the results.

This morning turned out to be a rude awakening.
