LANSING A judge is expected to hold a hearing Monday morning on a lawyer’s request to lift a protective order shielding the results of a court-ordered examination of voting equipment in Antrim County a county that President Donald Trump easily won, but where his legal team is alleging irregularities.
Portage attorney Matthew DePerno filed an emergency motion Friday with 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, claiming he has received initial preliminary results which are important for the public, the U.S. government and the Michigan Legislature to review and understand, and are an issue of national security.
It s the latest bizarre twist in a saga that began with an election night error in how the county compiled and reported its unofficial election results. County Clerk Sheryl Guy, a Republican, has claimed responsibility for an error that resulted in Democrat Joe Biden initially appearing to have won the northern Michigan County.

LANSING Republicans who backed President Donald Trump’s failed effort for another term insisted they just wanted “answers” even though they signed a brief seeking to overturn Michigan’s election.
Fifteen Michigan legislators and four of six of the state’s congressional Republicans filed legal briefs supporting a Texas lawsuit that sought to delay Monday’s Electoral College vote and block electors from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia from participating.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied the request Friday, after Bridge Michigan reached out to the lawmakers to understand their rationale for supporting a lawsuit that critics said supported “authoritarian, anti-democracy efforts” to satisfy Trump’s “tiny fragile ego.”
The Michigan Senate on Thursday passed âWyattâs Law, which would create a registry of child-abuse offenders.
The proposed law is inspired by Wyatt Rewoldt, 8, of St. Clair Shores, who suffered permanent brain and other injuries at the hands of his fatherâs girlfriend in 2013 at age 1. Wyattâs mother, Erica Hammel, has been pushing for the lawâs passage since shortly after her son was nearly killed because Wyattâs abuser had a prior child-abuse conviction Hammel didnât know about.
Hammel has been in Lansing this week to lobby for the law. It passed in a 37-1 vote.
