WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 05: U.S. President Donald Trump shushes journalists before signing the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act in the Rose Garden at the White House June 05, 2020 in Washington, DC. In the midst of nationwide protests against the death of George Floyd, the U.S. Labor Department announced the unemployment rate fell to 13.3 percent in May, a surprising improvement in the nation’s job market as hiring rebounded faster than economists expected in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

On Tuesday, Michigan Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer dismissed one of the last challenges to the 2020 presidential election, ending former President Donald Trump‘s last efforts to overturn last year’s election.
The case Elsenheimer dismissed was brought by a voter from Antrim County who claimed that fraud had taken place in the November election.
The case was finally resolved Tuesday when Elsenheimer ruled that an audit Michigan secretary of state’s office conducted met the state law.
“By deciding this motion, the court is not saying that there were no problems in the way that Antrim County conducted its November 2020 elections,” Elsenheimer said during his ruling. “The clerk has admitted that there were challenges and problems in the elections, although the hand count ultimately of the presidential election showed results largely consistent with the canvass totals that were entered by the state and reported by the county.”
