Trump lawyers mix up Michigan and Minnesota in latest court filing fail

Sharing the letter "M" was apparently enough to confuse the Trump campaign's legal team into using data from Minnesota in an affidavit filed in Michigan.
In the latest court filing fail for the president's campaign, paperwork purporting to show evidence of voter fraud mixed up counties between the two states .
An Atlanta lawyer working for the campaign, L Lin Wood, on Wednesday filed an expert analysis of suspiciously high turnout in Democrat-leaning areas of Michigan, according to The New York Times.
But some of the counties identified in the affidavit are in Minnesota: Monticello, Albertville, Lake Lillian, Houston, Brownsville, Runeberg, Wolf Lake, Height of Land, Detroit Lakes, Frazee and Kandiyohi.
The apparent mix-up was first discovered by conservative legal website Powerline, with litigator John H Hinderaker writing it was likely made due to the state's similar abbreviations of MI and MN.

(34,069 posts)The MI/MN mixup was in affidavits. Voter affidavits alleging fraud from MN were filed in MI. That didn't alter the nuber of MI voters.
Allegations about more voters than those registered is a different issue in a third state: Wisconsin - on Sunday there were more registered voters than votes cast on Tuesday (anyone claiming the lower number didn't update their facts). In addition, in Wisconsin voters are permitted to register and vote the same day - so votes on election day could easily surpass the number of previously registered voters.
