A Michigan Senate committee will meet next week to review vote counting in Detroit, a move that comes after the Trump campaign announced that there would be legislative hearings in multiple battleground states to probe election results and irregularities.

The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee is scheduled to meet on Dec. 1, with the agenda indicating that members will hear testimony about absentee ballot counting at Detroit’s TCF Center, the site of Election Day drama and ensuing protests over what some alleged was a fraudulent process.
