I would like to see the Wisc Attorney General counter sue Stein because there is no proof of wrongdoing. Simple disenfranchisement.
What about Carley? you know the one who was Vice President for Cruzzie. lol
Looking at it that way, you are probably correct.
Nah, as precedence stands now, a court won’t order a hand recount becuase it can’t be completed before the ‘Safe Harbor date’. Well, except a local Dane County court- but they’ll be quickly slapped down on appeal.
“HMMM... I can spend this $3.5 million on a recount- or I can spend just 40 grand on a lawsuit that gives me an excuse to keep it...”
‘Tough’ decision for Stein?
Whoever is behind Hillary had the venue and the judge selected for this lawsuit months ago.
And their end goal may very well be to get a case in one of these states to the Supreme Court. With a 4-4 tie, then what happens? They blackmail one of them?
I haven't been keeping up with this, but I do know the electoral math is still not enough to bring Trump below 270, even with these 3 states. But we all know how desperate they are to stay out of prison, so....
Dear Jill,
I would scratch next year’s vacay to WI.

Parties "judge shop" to find a judge that is sympathetic to their cause.
Some judges do things that are "constructive" meaning they develop synthetic requirements like school bussing for example, to resolve disparities in community education. This could happen if a judge mandates hand counting to be sure every vote is counted even unmarked or spoiled ballots.
Judges may do something for the simple notariety. Judge Ito in the OJ trial comes to mind.
The worst case is a judge that will do something abstract just out of political ideological allegience. The supreme court is developing that reputation.
Unfortunately the answer to your question is yes.
The disenfranchised should sue. That would make some of us the Deplorable Disenfranchised.
PING!!!

If Stein wins her lawsuit, the ploy will prevent any Wisconsin electoral votes from being cast by the date of electoral college certification,

Excerpt:
Her agenda actually makes a lot of sense.
I’ve said all along that her only motive in collecting all that money was to use it to pay lawyers, consultants and campaign staff (probably including many friends and family members) millions of dollars in a fruitless series of legal challenges.
Thanks, Cedar Dave and Alberta’s Child and dsm69
I believe that if Wisconsin fails to appoint Electors by virtue of a contested election, they simply aren’t counted. They don’t go to Clinton. That reduces the number Trump needs to 265, and so on with any other states that they contest. They’d have to knock off 74 Trump EVs for a tie. Then it goes to the House and in theory we end up with President Trump and Vice President Clinton. Then she’d be impeached before she could have him assassinated.
Just taking WI, MI and PA out of the mix wouldn’t be enough. They have to actually flip them, all three, or it’s all over, and there isn’t enough time. Anything big enough, blatant enough, to do that, and the people will see right through it. The shooting would be over faster than the recount.
The Red witch has no standing. She cannot win the state by any measure.
Stalinists lie. ALWAYS
Another fake news. She is not going to win no recount.
Don’t wonder about it - that is precisely what it is. It is the way the Left operates.
The Senate is under GOP control so Pence would be elected as VP.
The legislature of Wisconsin could simply affirm the Electors and there isn’t a thing they could do about it with their recount fiasco and Stein’s nonsense lawsuits.
Add Mother Sheehan to your list.
Word is that Stein’s PA recount effort has failed (missed deadline). Even if she can keep WI’s electoral votes tied up in recount, it won’t matter — Trump still has 270+ without WI.
If she goes forward in WI, she’ll just needlessly burn a ton of cash and probably alienate a lot of Wisconsin voters to boot.
It won’t matter because of safe harbor.
All three states have GOP legislatures and they can instruct the electors to vote for Trump based on the November result.
In the unlikely event recounts show a different result, the House next year is free not to recognize the EV from those states.
So any attempt to delay vote count certification to prevent the electors from meeting to elect the President won’t work.
I would guess the process does not end with one lower court ruling and IIRC the Wisconsin Supreme Court is a Republican majority.
Remember that Soros supposedly said even if Trump won the vote he would not win in the electoral college.
Then the left can say, Trump is an illegitimate elected President, just like Bush was illegitimate (via the U.S. Supreme Court, Gore vs. Bush.)
