Michigan Supreme Court

Angelic Johnson v. Secretary of State

December 9, 2020

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court denied the petition for extraordinary writs and declaratory relief, concluding only that it was not persuaded that the requested relief could or should be granted. The petition sought to challenge the certified presidential-election results, investigate alleged irregularities, obtain an audit, preserve election materials, and enjoin further election-related action, but the order did not resolve the underlying legal questions. The opinion text accompanying the order emphasized substantial uncertainty concerning pleading, jurisdiction, the proper election-contest vehicle, and the scope and timing of the constitutional audit right.
