Michigan Court of Appeals Agrees to Hear Recount Case
AG Bill Schuette ^ | 12/5/2016 | Bill Schuette

Posted on 12/05/2016 10:34:28 AM PST by usafa92

Just the link to AG Schuette's Twitter. Account. The tweet reads Michigan Court of Appeals, not the MI SC or the US Court of Appeals. Will monitor going forward. As news reports come in, we can perhaps keep this as the running thread.

One cannot trust these leftwing Alinsky communists - they will stop at nothing to complete their coup d’etat.

Why doesn’t the GOP demand that NV be recounted (where Clinton won). There is evidence that fraud occurred there.

Is the GOP ball-less? I don’t get it.

I thought it was a Federal District judge that ordered the MI hand recount.

How can a MI court of appeals change that Fed ruling?

MI is part of the 6th circuit, IIRC, and it’s in Cincinnati.

The Federal ruling was that the recount should begin in advance of the Michigan decision on whether or not they'd even authorize the recount.

If MI doesn't authorize the recount on Wednesday then the Federal ruling may be null and void.

There are 2 separate issues before the courts. MI for right now has jurisdiction over whether or not the recount can be held. Because the Canvassing Board was dealocked 2-2 it proceeds, but state law said you must wait 2 Business Days to start it. Stein went to Federal Court to have the 2 day period waived which the Federal judge granted.

So the Michigan Courts can stop the recounts at which point it will probably go to the SC of MI on appeal. It’s rather confusing but all the Feds did was to waive the 2 day waiting period.

That is true about the Federal District judge. The thing is the state’s have the power over the elections, right?

I am SO confused. LOL

The only thing that confuses me, is why would she go to a federal judge and not a state judge to get the 2 day bit waived?

I’m unable to make sense of this...

I think AG Schuette is intent on shoving this down the leftists throat and hoping they choke on it!

All along, the consensus has been that Stein wants to run the clock down. Given that, why would she go to court to start the MI recount sooner?

The GOP knows a waste of time when it sees one.

Your explanations (both of you) make sense.

Now one has to wonder why a Fed district judge felt compelled not to follow MI law in terms of when the recount would begin. That seems such a petty issue to rule on while saying that you could be over-ruled altogether if the MI court finds the recount should not even go forward.

A state judge would have upheld state rules concerning the 2 day wait for the count to begin.

“It’s rather confusing but all the Feds did was to waive the 2 day waiting period.”

I thought the federal judge said the recount couldn’t be stopped until he agreed to stop it?

Maybe he would do that depending on how the Michigan courts rule; but maybe he wouldn’t. (He’s an Obama appointee.)

After looking at his Twitter page, he is really serious about stopping this recount.

Because Stein got a liberal Obama appointed judge.
