Lansing — Michigan's attorneys filed their response Thursday to Texas's legal push to overturn battleground states' election results, saying the lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court was "unprecedented" and "without factual foundation."
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, and three other employees of her office wrote that President-elect Joe Biden's 154,000-vote win in the state had already been certified by the Board of State Canvassers and upheld in state court decisions.
For the nation's high court to intervene would be an "intrusion" on the state's sovereignty, according to Nessel and her aides.
"The election in Michigan is over," they wrote. "Texas comes as a stranger to this matter and should not be heard here."
