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.
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 didnt just declare that to be dispositive, and the Bush v. Gore case to be moot.
And why doesnt 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.
