Republican Officials Ordered to Pay $58,000 For Failed Lawsuit Challenging Absentee Voting

Michigan Republican Party Chair Kristina Karamo and others ordered to pay legal fees for lawsuit attempting to invalidate absentee ballots in Detroit.
The lawsuit claimed absentee voting procedures in Detroit were improper but provided no evidence to support these claims.
A judge dismissed the lawsuit the day before Election Day, calling it "frivolous."
The lawsuit aimed to force all Detroit residents to vote in person or go to the clerk's office to get an absentee ballot.
Karamo was the Republican nominee for Michigan Secretary of State at the time of the lawsuit.
