DETROIT — A Wayne County judge has denied a request Monday to change Detroit's absentee voting processes ahead of Tuesday's election, ruling that all of the claims advanced in a lawsuit filed by GOP Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo were "unsubstantiated and/or misinterpret Michigan election law."
Additionally, the plaintiffs' initial request to have Detroiters vote in person or obtain an absentee ballot in person is a "clear violation" of constitutional rights to vote absentee in person or by mail, Wayne County Circuit Court Chief Judge Timothy Kenny ruled Monday.
Kenny not only denied a request for a preliminary injunction but dismissed the complaint altogether, calling it a "false flag" that sought to "demonize" Detroit election workers.
