A slate of Republican "shadow electors" who tried to cast electoral votes for Donald Trump in Michigan dropped their lawsuit seeking to overturn the state's election results on Friday. The voluntary dismissal of the case puts an end to the first of the infamously inept "Kraken" lawsuits filed by right-wing attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood.

The lawsuit—filed against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson—alleged that President-elect Joe Biden only won the popular vote because tens of thousands of ballots were forged. It further claimed that ballot canvassing observers were prevented from being able to meaningfully oversee the counting of votes.

Three of the plaintiffs in the suit—Timothy King, Marian Ellen Sheridan, and John Earl Haggard—were GOP presidential electors who sent alternative electoral votes in favor of Trump to Congress in hopes the state legislature or vice president count them in place of the Democratic electors' votes. Such a move, if attempted, would have violated state law as well as the U.S. Constitution.

Attorneys for the City of Detroit, who intervened in the case, opposed the extension in a scathing two-page court filing Tuesday. The document emphasized that frivolous lawsuits challenging the election contributed to last week's violent riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Fuck these assholes. They had their larp electors at the ready if their insurrection succeeded just so they could point to a kangaroo court who could then "really decide" the election. All of this was so they could be fascists that larp as purveyors of democracy.

Is this the lawsuit that was very bad written, and that some weird people were saying it was written that way to force everyone to read it and understand it?

How do people as dumb as Sydney Powell & Lin Wood, who seemed to genuinely believe in their case, ever become lawyers in the first place?
