An Obama appointed federal judge ordered a massive hand recount of 4.8 million ballots in Michigan....
The Detroit News reported: U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith issued a ruling just after midnight Monday in favor of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who sought to let election officials bypass a two-business-day waiting period that would have delayed start of the recount until Wednesday morning.
Goldsmiths order said the recount shall commence and must continue until further order of this court.
Defendants shall instruct all governmental units participating in the recount to assemble necessary staff to work sufficient hours to assure that the recount is completed in time to comply with the safe harbor provision, of federal election law, Goldsmith wrote.
The deadline to finalize the vote total for the Electoral College is Dec. 13 and federal election law requires a period of safe harbor for presidential electors before the presidency is finalized on Dec. 19.
The manual recount process was scheduled to begin Wednesday as specified by state law, and in a rare Sunday hearing in federal court, Goldsmith had questioned the harm posed by waiting.
Steins lawyer Mark Brewer argued the case was aimed at ensuring the integrity of Michigans voting system and that the required waiting period violated Steins rights to due process and equal protection. He pushed for the recount of 4.8 million ballots to start immediately, which he said would be Monday morning.
There are questions raised throughout the country about the integrity of the election system, Brewer told the judge in front of a courtroom filled with about two dozen people, including state Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel. Its not just rhetoric.

“There needs to be large numbers of impeachments.”
Given the climate of today, I would think the point could be better made via one or two of the many unadorned lamp posts in the area.
Stein sued for what she claimed to be an equal protection and due process violation. (14th amendment). Why the judge took the case ? RAT judge ?

Another Dem political activist sitting in a Judge’s role, making new law.
Considering the political bias any Dem brings to a Judgeship, one must conclude no Dem should be a Judge.
Unqualified.
Why can't Michigan simply ignore the court order as validated and practiced by Obungo and Hellary?
See what happens.
Just say no.
I read through it as best I can. I’m not an attorney but I have a decent level of reading comprehension. As best I can tell, the entire situation as described was severely disordered. Incompetence apparently was exercised by everyone involved in this specific case.
The RNC lawyer needs to be fired & replaced with someone competent who LIKES to fight. Makes me think many of the RNC attorneys could be establishment types who haven’t been removed yet.
Thanks for the link. Keep the faith. Every attorney the RNC has working in PA is not going to be like this turd was.
There are questions raised throughout the country about the integrity of “Federal” Judges.
Trump is going to have to bring the people up to speed.
Thanks. Hope Trumps attorneys also file for a stay of the renegade Obama Federal judges ruling with the 6th circuit, a conservative dominated circuit!
Recount starts today at Noon MI time if they don’t!
: )
The real reason was to overrule our AG Schuette's filing with the MI SC which would have heard him on Tuesday and the 5-2 repub SC here would have probably stopped the recount entirely.
Because along with his ruling to begin the recount immediately he also added that it was to continue until his court said it could stop.

"This evening I filed in federal court to protect the interests of the taxpayers of Michigan and stop @DrJillStein's frivolous recount."
@SchuetteOnDuty
Oh not an Obama judge? Seriously? How could that be?
because, as I have posted, this state cannot afford this crap. We have issues that need serious attention and the millions being spent on idiot witch Stein.

For too long the Trump Lawyers have taken the push by Stein as a SCAM when in fact, since supported by Clinton, was an effort to throw the election into chaos. NOW, we are playing “catch-up” when it should have stopped earlier. Oh well, prayers that it works out in the country’s favor and Trump is our next President.
