Trump claiming victory in Atrium county Michigan. Judge allows forensic audit

But the thing is, it’s about weed, not the president. The pot proposal passed by one vote. So the forensic audit is being allowed. But trumps gonna trump.

The Trump campaign is apparently able to piggyback on a court victory in Michigan's Antrim County that addressed concerns about a close vote on a marijuana proposal.

A judge issued a preliminary order Friday requiring Antrim County in northern Michigan to preserve its election records and allow forensic photos to be taken from 22 county precinct tabulators used in the Nov. 3 election.

The challenge came from voter William Bailey over the pot proposal, not the presidential race. The proposal passed by one vote. The formal court order released Saturday made no mention of the Trump legal team being involved in the examination.

Trump won the Republican-leaning county by about 4,000 votes.

The Trump campaign, which has repeatedly failed to win court victories in Michigan and elsewhere challenging election results, jumped on the opportunity to call it a victory for the president.

On Sunday morning, campaign attorney Jenna Ellis told Fox & Friends:

"A judge actually granted our team access … for us to conduct a forensic audit...Our team is going to be able to go in this morning at about 8:30 and will be there for about eight hours to conduct that forensic examination and we’ll have the results in about 48 hours, and that’ll tell us a lot about these machines."

Just over 16,000 votes were cast in the county where the Republican clerk had caught an error in the election after the polls closed that favored Biden. It was corrected a short time later.

Biden won Michigan by more than 150,000 votes.

They will find two ballots where the signatures look different and claim they’ve found evidence of massive cheating

We are seeing the beginnings of the Weimar Republic redux on this side of the pond.
