Plaintiffs initiated this action on November 25, 2020. (ECF No. 1.) Their claims were subsequently dismissed either voluntarily (ECF Nos. 86-91) or by leave of Court (ECF No. 149). Defendants and the Intervenor-Defendants filed motions for sanctions. On August 25, 2021, the Court granted the motions filed by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and the City of Detroit and granted in part and denied in part the motion filed by Robert Davis. (ECF No. 172.) The sanctions awarded included the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Governor Whitmer, Secretary of State Benson, and the City of Detroit. The Court decided on the amount of the fee awards in an Opinion and Order entered today.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ counsel, jointly and severally, shall pay attorneys’ fees in the amount of $21,964.75 to Defendants Gretchen Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ counsel, jointly and severally, shall pay attorneys’ fees in the amount of $153,285.62 to Intervenor-Defendant City of Detroit;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is CLOSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

The public and other individuals should not have to pay for the costs of this election fraud nonsense which has no evidence nor any basis in fact. If it did, they would have shown some.
(oh, but Mike Lindell . . . yeah, right.)

That doesn't answer the question
Were observers barred and the shades pulled? The count room should be full of cameras and broadcast on the internet at least. Without transparency fraud must be assumed.

If your question is not part of the lawsuit, then it is irrelevant to the lawsuit.
The court room is always recorded by a court recorder and a transcript is created. Many (most?) modern court rooms also keep an audio record in addition to (or instead of?) a court reporter.
Some courts allow cameras. (Just see YouTube as an example of videos taken by permission of the court.)
Courts try to be transparent.
What are you complaining about? Other than you don't like the outcome because the plaintiffs didn't even try to prove their case because their lawsuit was for the purpose of publicity.

Heh, very funny, but not the court room, the count room, where votes are counted. Full transparency is required, cameras, microphones, every bit of spy equipment you can think of, big windows to let people see inside.

If that is your question, then it should have been part of the lawsuit complaint. With supporting evidence.
It's funny how all these conspiracy theories are NEVER backed up by actual evidence. Just loud strong assertions that it is true.

No, not an assertion, it was a question that you still haven't answered. I don't care about the lawsuits. Did it happen or not? Were the shades pulled? If you don't know, just say it without the pontificating

They were, we all saw the pictures. But this lawsuit didn't go into that. From what I gather here, it was a federal suit that attempted to halt the submission of the state results. Our DNC rep provided an injunction denial that basically said "filed too late", and that the 11th amendment restricts citizens' suits in federal court against a state.
No idea whether there are state efforts still ongoing to enforce transparency in the future.

"The pictures"?
Citations please. Last I heard there were some photos of ballots in a ditch and some other sketchy pics that were misleading, all debunked and the ditch photos were actually done by some Republican asshole trying to fabricate the evidence. We continue to see actual evidence of extremist conservatives trying to cheat elections, and all the evidence they claim to have always seems to disappear in a puff of fakery and bullshit.
PLEASE if you have credible evidence SHARE IT! So far on this site all we've gotten are sketchy images attached to opinion pieces with lots of emotionally scary language.

As usual, the dems don't want to ask the right questions. They just want to pad their numbers any way they can
