Three Biden/Harris electors from the 2020 general election filed this civil lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Kent County, Michigan against the sixteen alternate-slate electors for Trump/Pence.
We are representing five of the sixteen Trump/Pence electors.
These same Trump/Pence electors successfully fended off the criminal charges brought against them by the Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel, for their role in the so-called âfake electorâ scheme. A state court judge dismissed the criminal case following the preliminary examination, finding that the charges lacked merit.
In this civil case, the three Biden/Harris-elector plaintiffs are suing our clients for (1) declaratory relief (they essentially want a court to declare that Biden won the election . . . but courts resolve cases and controversies, they are not therapy sessions for political activists); (2) false-light/invasion of privacy; (3) conversion; and (4) conspiracy.
These claims have no merit, and, in fact, are frivolous.
We filed a motion for summary disposition because the plaintiffs’ complaint fails to state a viable claim for relief. The Circuit Court denied our motion, so we sought leave to appeal in the Michigan Court of Appeals. Because this was not a final order that was appealable as of right, we had to demonstrate to the Court of Appeals the importance of granting discretionary review of this case, and the court did.
CASE UPDATE (March 6, 2026): We filed our opening brief in the Michigan Court of Appeals.
