What's the story?

\nPresident Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has filed suit in Michigan, seeking a halt of ballot counting in the Great Lakes State “until meaningful access has been granted\" to observe the ballot counting process.\n

\"We also demand to review those ballots which are opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access.\"

Attorney General Dana Nessel's office responded:

\"Michigan's elections have been conducted transparently, with access provided for both political parties and the public, and using a robust system of checks and balances to ensure that all ballots are counted fairly and accurately.\"

\nThe Trump campaign has already requested a recount in Wisconsin, which was recently called for Joe Biden.
As of 5 pm ET Wednesday, Biden is projected to receive 248 electoral votes and Trump 214. 76 electoral votes still hang in the balance.
