Nine attorneys aligned with former President Donald Trump who filed an unsuccessful lawsuit challenging Michigan's 2020 presidential election results will have to pay financial penalties and face other punitive actions for their legal effort, a district court judge ruled on Wednesday.
"This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process," U.S. District Judge Linda Parker wrote in her scathing decision on the case.
"It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an
allegedly fraudulent election," she wrote. "It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here."
The ruling stems from a lawsuit brought by the attorneys — including Trump backers Sidney Powell and Lin Wood — which sought to decertify Michigan's election results under the false pretense that ballots had been manipulated in Joe Biden's favor.
Biden won Michigan by more than 150,000 votes.

Very interesting considering irregularities in the 2016 election that resulted in a state audit - when Trump won the state. Seems the state especially certain counties have a poor understanding on how to conduct an election. This seems to have helped in supporting claims of voter fraud.
Regardless the 2020 election is slowly working its way into our rearview mirrors. Hopefully in 2024 there will be less foreign influence, lawsuits, and all the other scum that typically floats to the surface ever four years.
