On his Power Line blog, Thursday, John Hinderakerpointed out the major error.
“Here’s the problem: the townships and precincts listed in paragraphs 11 and 17 of the affidavit are not in Michigan. They are in Minnesota,” Hinderaker declared. “Monticello, Albertville, Lake Lillian, Houston, Brownsville, Runeberg, Wolf Lake, Height of Land, Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Kandiyohi–these are all towns in Minnesota.”
Hinderaker noted that someone involved obviously confused the two states due to the abbreviations and so the data is now essentially null and void.
“This is a catastrophic error, the kind of thing that causes a legal position to crash and burn,” Hinderaker warned, adding, “Trump’s lawyers are fighting an uphill battle, to put it mildly, and confusing Michigan with Minnesota will at best make the hill steeper.”

and of course, some of the logic doesn't make sense anyway.
voting turnout was 400% of a district's population..... "well, what was the turnout in 2018, 2016, 2014 etc. etc.?". did they not do this basic check?
I would think many/most of trump's arguments pertain equally to places he did well..... and these rules seem fine for every other candidate in 2020, 2018, 2016 etc. etc..
of course, when you are mentally ill and you have cult-like following amongst simpletons, I guess anything is possible
