A federal judge sanctions lawyers behind the Michigan decertification lawsuit

U.S. District Judge Linda Parker sanctioned lawyers who filed King v. Whitmer, the Michigan lawsuit seeking to decertify the 2020 presidential result. The order said the attorneys used unsupported fraud claims and bad-faith litigation to push a political agenda in federal court. The sanctions shifted power back toward election workers, voters, and courts that require evidence before a lawsuit can threaten certified results.
