Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has filed a lawsuit against Michigan officials, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, to block a directive to designate Veterans Affairs offices and other public facilities as voter registration sites.

Per the lawsuit, filed Monday, the Trump campaign seeks a "permanent injunction barring the state … from designating any VRAs [voter registration agencies] without express authorization from the Michigan Legislature."

The directive — which would have instituted registration offices in Michigan Veterans Affairs, Worker’s Disability Compensation Agency and U.S. Small Business Administration offices — would have enabled Michiganders to check, update, and join the voter rolls more easily.

There is the longstanding allegations of voter fraud that have appeared in Michigan. Especially with the Detroit Area. While they were unfounded and failed to have any substance, this new case might be designed to keep the voter rolls in the public conscience
