Couple of days late with this, aren’t you?
So what happens now?:
The Michigan Board of Canvassers is meeting at 9:30 on Wednesday morning.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is planning to file a motion to dissolve the order requiring the recount to start Monday.
Stein may appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court. If she does, she is seeking to have the two Michigan Supreme Court Justices on Trump’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees disqualified.
There are significant questions of federal-state law and jurisdiction at issue in the court cases:
Although a ruling on federal constitutional law takes precedence over a state court ruling, Schuette said his attorneys plan to aggressively argue to stop the recount at a hearing in the Michigan Court of Appeals today, because the issue at hand is one of state law, not federal law. If there are conflicting rulings from state and federal court, the case could ultimately end up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, he said.
“Michigan law prevails,” Schuette said. “You can’t make up — like the federal judge is attempting to do — a constitutional right to a recount.”
The attorney general said state law is clear that Stein can’t ask for a recount because she only received just over 1% of the vote. Therefore, a recount can’t overturn the result for Stein and she is not an “aggrieved” party under state law, Schuette said.
