A Central Lake man sued Antrim County back in November and wanted to conduct his own audit of the county’s election results after the results came back in Joe Biden’s favor.
The County Clerk said human error was the cause and the results were corrected in favor of former President, Donald Trump.
A hand recount of presidential ballots was also done along with a statewide audit.
The 13th Circuit Court Chief Judge, Kevin Elsenheimer says that because of that, the lawsuit doesn’t have legal ground to move forward.
Following the dismissal of the case, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said, “the dismissal of the last of the lawsuits attempting to undermine democracy in furtherance of the Big Lie affirms that despite intense scrutiny, and an unprecedented misinformation campaign, the 2020 election was fair and secure, and the results accurately reflect the will of the voters.”
