Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 21, Petitioners respectfully move for
December 11, 2020, that concern the November 3, 2020, presidential election.
These filings have direct implications for the outcome of the election nationwide.
The first of the filings concerns the presidential election conducted in the
State of Michigan and was assigned Docket Number 20-815 (the “Michigan
Petition”). The Michigan Petition seeks emergency declaratory relief avowing that
and otherwise contrary to law, together with injunctive relief de-certifying those
results.
The second filing, Docket Number 20-816, parallels the first and concerns the
presidential election in Georgia (the “Georgia Petition”). The Georgia Petition seeks
declaratory and injunctive relief similar to that requested in the Michigan Petition.
Under the briefing schedules established by this Court’s rules, the Michigan
and Georgia Petitions would not be briefed until January 14, 2020 at the earliest;
and in the event the Court were to grant review, the cases would not be argued and
decided until Spring 2021 at the earliest. In the meantime, Petitioners claims will
have changed beyond recognition and will very likely have become moot. On

Petitioners respectfully request (1) that the Court consolidate the Michigan
and Georgia Petitions (together with similar petitions from Arizona and Wisconsin
discussed below); and (2) expedite consideration of all four petitions. The expedited
schedule proposed below would allow the Court to adjudicate the cases in advance of

relevant part. The Michigan Petition requests parallel relief directed to the Eastern
District of Michigan.
On December 12, 2020, two more petitions arising from egregious fraud in
the presidential election were filed in this Court. One of the December 12 cases
involved the decision of the District of Arizona in Bowyer et al., v. Ducey, et al. (the
“Arizona Petition”), and the second involved the decision of the Eastern District of

The Arizona and Wisconsin Petitions were electronically filed and hand
delivered to the Court on December 12. Nonetheless, on December 17, the Clerk’s
office marked both “Rejected” on the Court’s ECF database. When inquiry was
made about this notation, undersigned counsel was informed that a Clerk’s Office
analyst had disallowed them, for reasons unspecified, without participation by any
Justice of the Court. Counsel was informed that an explanation would be provided
the Office of the Supreme Court Clerk. More important, we are confident that
deficiencies in the Arizona and Wisconsin Petitions, if there be any, are curable. We
respectfully request that the Court deem those submissions filed nunc pro tunc and
consolidate them, once filed, with the Michigan and Georgia Petitions.

so by Monday, December 21, 2020, and that the respective Respondents be directed

absentee ballot fraud, electronic ballot fraud, and other fraud in the four states at
issue in the petitions. The Court should understand how it can be shown to a
practical certainty that these various frauds flipped the result of the 2020
presidential election from a win for President Trump to a purported win for
candidate Biden. The Court must recognize that fraudsters are closing in on their
lofty goal of corruptly attaining the presidency. Above all, the Court must bear in
