DePerno, who challenged 2020 election, drops Michigan high court bid as nominating conventions meet
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — The race among Republicans for Michigan’s state Supreme Court, already shaken up by attorney Matthew DePerno ‘s decision to drop out, got a further jolt during Saturday’s nominating convention when the former party chairperson was escorted out of the arena. Kristina Karamo, who was ousted as chairperson in January after less than a year, was told she was not a delegate and two police officers led her out, the Detroit News reported. DePerno said in a Friday night statement that his decision was based on how he could best help former President Donald Trump win Michigan and reclaim the White House. It came just hours before both Republicans and Democrats gathered to choose nominees for two available seats on the court with majority control at stake. DePerno, who rose to prominence repeating false claims about the 2020 election and faces felony charges of trying to illegally access and tamper with voting machines, said he talked to Trump this week and decided he could do more to help Trump win by bolstering the state’s absentee and early voting programs.
