A judge has rejected a request by Michigan secretary of state candidate Kristina Karamo to reject mail-in ballots from Detroit for the midterm elections.

Karamo, a Republican, filed a lawsuit several weeks ago seeking to disqualify absentee ballots in only Detroit, which overwhelmingly votes for Democrats, and require them to show up in person on Nov. 8. She said the mail-in ballot counting system in Detroit violates election law.
