(WXYZ) — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is reacting to the Supreme Court's decision not to take a case filed by the state of Texas that challenged four state's presidential election results.

Michigan was among the states whose results were challenged.

Nessel released the following statement in reaction:

Today’s Supreme Court decision is an important reminder that we are a nation of laws, and though some may bend to the desire of a single individual, the courts will not. To the people of the State of Michigan, it was a great honor to appear at our country’s highest court on your behalf to ensure that your voice was heard and that your votes were counted. Now it’s time to move forward — not as separate states, red or blue — but as united states in the continuing pursuit of a more perfect union.
