A judge in Michigan has tossed out a lawsuit brought by U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign in hopes of halting vote-counting in the battleground state.
Trump's Democrat challenger Joe Biden is the projected winner in Michigan, which Trump, a Republican, carried in 2016.
Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens made the ruling during a court hearing on Thursday. She said she planned to issue a written ruling on Friday.
"I have no basis to find that there is a substantial likelihood of success on the merits," Stephens said.
Campaign officials for Trump have said they filed the suit to stop the counting in Michigan and gain greater access to the tabulation process.
