Or is Cheetolini calling on them to throw out valid ballots that have already been counted?

10. My guess is they try to throw out ballots back to when Trump led.

That is a very anti-democracy group of people. They really don’t care about counting legal votes that don’t help them.

I was ahead for 3 quarters, so the 4th quarter shouldn't count.

They have no right to be present when election workers are finishing the regular count of ballots. Maybe they could have a lawyer or two present, but that is it.

20. "Judge, if the game had been stopped after the third quarter, those three

touchdowns that were scored against us wouldn’t have happened. So we are asking that the three touchdowns they scored in the fourth quarter to beat us be removed”. Or something like that.

8. Here you go: They want access

“President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law. We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted. We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access. President Trump is committed to ensuring that all legal votes are counted in Michigan and everywhere else.”

11. I seriously doubt that both campaigns didn't have legal observers

present during the counting. What Trump wants is for proud boys types or bro-nazis, that are going to cause strife and threaten violence, to be in the room.

13. "meaningful" access? that suggests they've been given access they're calling meaningless.

i'm not sure what that would be.

maybe they're saying you can come and observe but you have to wear masks, and they're calling that meaningless?

17. The governor needs to call the national guard to escort trump's people to the

"numerous counting locations", and they should be supervised while they "review those ballots which were opened and counted".

Trump wants to make sure all the legal votes were counted EXCEPT for the ones his Post Office buddy shut away in back rooms.

He actually can't imagine losing. In his mind, it's not possible. That's what narcissists are.

22. Your Honor, the GoP cheated in 2016 and tried this time but Biden is ahead...

we demand more access to find out why our cheating didn't work this time. We want access to see if we can find some technicality to accuse the Democrats of cheating.

Or some similar bullshit argument.
