A top legal adviser to the Biden campaign said it
was “not possible” and “not legal” for the Republican-controlled Michigan
legislature to overturn the result in the decisive battleground.
“No state legislature in our country’s history
ever has done what Donald Trump is apparently agitating for the Michigan state
legislature to do, which is to ignore the results of a popular vote,” Biden
campaign legal adviser Bob Bauer told reporters during a press call on Friday.
“It cannot be done.”
On the call, Bauer assailed Republican lawmakers
for meeting with the president. “It’s an open attempt to intimidate election
officials,” he said. “It’s absolutely appalling.”
Trump’s campaign has baselessly claimed that
elections officials counted enough “illegitimate ballots” to swing the election
results against him, and that he would win if they were thrown out. The
campaign has yet to provide evidence to support the suggestion of wide-scale
fraud and a court has found the claims to be “not credible”.
