The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear the Trump campaign’s lawsuit seeking “meaningful access” for poll challengers to observe ballot counting in the state.

In an order, the justices rejected a request to review a lower court’s decision that denied to block the counting of ballots. “We are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court,” the state’s top court said.
