How interesting.

- Michigan certifies on 28 November.

- Stein requests recount on 30 November.

- Trump files written objections on 7 December (seven days).

- Board of Canvassers holds hearing on 8 December.

- Board of Canvassers issues ruling on 13 December.

- Federal Law requires electors to be appointed NLT 13 December.

The thing you want to consider is that it would be a win for Hillary if none of MI, PA, or WI appointed electors and the number required for a majority of the EC were reduced accordingly.

In FL 2000, the FL SecState certified Bush as the winner, and those electors actually sent their votes to the House of Representatives. I never really understood why SCOTUS didn’t just declare that to be dispositive, and the Bush v. Gore case to be moot.

And why doesn’t MI do the same thing now???

I thought I read Stein was dropping Michigan?

When the federal law dictates the electors to be appointed NLT than 13 December...there isn’t any wording in the law (am I correct) to say those state electors appointed after that point will not be accepted?

Seems like there needs to be a nation-wide understanding on re-counts....either you request it within five days of the election, or you don’t qualify for it. I also think it’s a total waste of public time and effort....if the person doesn’t even get to the 20-percent level on votes.
