President Donald Trump's reelection campaign dropped an election-related lawsuit in Michigan.
The move represents the latest development in the campaign's multi-state effort to challenge President-elect Joe Biden's electoral victory.
A lawyer for the Trump campaign said the lawsuit was being withdrawn because the county's board of canvassers "met and declined to certify the results of the presidential election."
But the board did vote to certify the results, after an outcry over Republican members who initially voted not to do so.
Those two GOP members now say they want to rescind their votes. But state officials say that is not possible, and that the certification is official.
