A problem ballots box as volunteers process absentee ballots for the 2020 Presidential election at the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2020. In Michigan, Biden erased Trump's lead and pulled ahead at about 9:30 a.m. New York time after early morning vote results came in from the Detroit suburbs.

“As votes in Michigan continue to be counted, the presidential race in the state remains extremely tight as we always knew it would be,” said Bill Stepien, Trump 2020 campaign manager.
“President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law. We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted,” he said in a statement.
“We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access. President Trump is committed to ensuring that all legal votes are counted in Michigan and everywhere else,” Stepien said.
As it stood on Wednesday afternoon, Biden leads Michigan by just 15,527 votes out of more than 5 million cast. Trump won Michigan in a surprise upset of Hillary Clinton in 2016, and the state is key to both candidates.
The Trump campaign’s move followed another in Wisconsin, announcing they’d “immediately” request a recount in the state. Biden currently leads by just 20,748 votes out of more than 3.2 million cast.
“Despite ridiculous public polling used as a voter suppression tactic, Wisconsin has been a razor thin race as we always knew that it would be,” Stepien said. “There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results. The President is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so.”
