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.

PA hasn’t been forced to recount yet.

Everybody chill.

They have no evidence to show a court.

any court.

And he’s picking up votes in the Wisconsin recount.

I’m annoyed but not concerned in the least.

I don’t care what “Larry” says. Jill Stein, G. Soros, et al planned these states partly because it was close, but also because the Fed judge is an Obama appointee.

The whole thing stinks like Hillary’s pantsuit.

AGREE...

Hillary is laying low, not saying a word...but you can be sure she and her criminals are arranging this...she fears Trump and the DOJ and FBI, IS COMING TO GET HER...

SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL, HABITUAL LIAR...AND I WILL NEVER BELIEVE HER OR TRUST HER...SHE IS MORE THAN LIKELY LIVING IN A DRUGGED STATE AND MENTALLY UNSTABLE...

WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTERS...IS THIS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW ALL FUTURE ELECTIONS WILL BE HANDLED??? WILL WE ALWAYS HAVE A GROUP OF CRY BABIES AND POOR LOSERS?

HOPE THEIR TWISTED PANTIES ARE PAINFUL FOR ALL OF THEM...

Obama carried only 2 counties in Nevada in 2012, Clark and Washoe, and his margin was narrow in Washoe. I believe Clark is one of the five counties where a recount was called for. That is the county which includes Las Vegas.

Because I’m so sick of these “OMG, what if” threads, I asked TEAM TRUMP direct:

What is your confidence level you come away with these (recount) states?”

Answer: “1000%”

BY THE WAY.....

Somerset County who went to Trump 76% (Trump 27K votes vs. Hillary 7K.)

and Somerset Board of Election said they are NOT going to recount votes, this is a depressed area, where jobs are tight and Hussein is sending us refugees...a new HUD Housing development just was recently completed..many of these ‘new’ residents are being shipped from OH. and we have a State Prison close by that, the inmates families are moving here also...mainly New York..It is so totally unbelievable, makes me weep to see what has happened to this Rural Mountain area, that lives off Recreational businesses...the County pushes HIKING, FISHING, HUNTING, SPORTS, SKIING, VACATIONS, BED AND BREAKFAST EVERYWHERE. LOTS OF ‘FAST FOOD’ JOINTS, BUT FEW DECENT RESTAURANTS.

I was born here but left as a ten year old kid...returned in Retirement and one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made. I lived in Cuyahoga and Lorain County, OHIO for 52 years..but hubby’s family all live in the area and he wanted to spend his ‘Golden Years’ near family...

OH DEAR LORD, WHAT A MISTAKE!!! (wink~wink)

It’s nonsense and I’m done with the concern trolls.

That’s my response.

The Dems keep going back to the same Dem Judge who extends the order. It’s been going on for decades.

Agreed. I will happily post your responses if I see threads with an over abundance of “Concern Trolls.”

Thank you for posting.

I sincerely hope you’re wrong... If they were to steal the election, I predict there will be blood.

It’s not a nationwide ruling...just for that district. There certainly have been recounts and contested elections since then by republicans since then or else Bush would not have been able to challenge Gore’s shenanigans in Florida in 2000!

For starters Gore challenged the results, not Bush.

Secondly it is a national ban:

This is a synopsis of the latest court case, a 2012 federal appeals court decision is below:

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE; NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE; VIRGINIA L. FEGGINS; LYNETTE MONROE

v.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE; NEW JERSEY REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE; ALEX HURTADO; RONALD C. KAUFMAN; JOHN KELLY

This is an excerpt of a legal ruling shared below in full, which is the latest relevant legal decision in a Consent Decree agreed to by the Republican National Party and the Democratic National Party to limit the RNC’s “ballot security” activities aimed at “fighting voter fraud” and detailed below:

During the 1981 New Jersey gubernatorial election, the DNC, the New Jersey Democratic State Committee (“DSC”), Virginia L. Peggins, and Lynette Monroe brought an action against the RNC, the New Jersey Republican State Committee (“RSC”), John A. Kelly, Ronald Kaufman, and Alex Hurtado, alleging that the RNC and RSC targeted minority voters in an effort to intimidate them in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (“VRA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 1971, 1973, and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

The RNC also allegedly enlisted the help of off-duty sheriffs and police officers to intimidate voters by standing at polling places in minority precincts during voting with “National Ballot Security Task Force” armbands. Some of the officers allegedly wore firearms in a visible manner. To settle the lawsuit, the RNC and RSC entered into the Consent Decree at issue here. The RNC and RSC agreed that they would:

[I]n the future, in all states and territories of the United States:

(a.) comply with all applicable state and federal laws protecting the rights of duly qualified citizens to vote for the candidate(s) of their choice;

(b.) in the event that they produce or place any signs which are part of ballot security activities, cause said signs to disclose that they are authorized or sponsored by the party committees and any other committees participating with the party committees;

(c.) refrain from giving any directions to or permitting their agents or employees to remove or deface any lawfully printed and placed campaign materials or signs;

(d.) refrain from giving any directions to or permitting their employees to campaign within restricted polling areas or to interrogate prospective voters as to their qualifications to vote prior to their entry to a polling place;

(e.) refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and the conduct of such activities disproportionately in or directed toward districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations shall be considered relevant evidence of the existence of such a factor and purpose;

(f.) refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement personnel in connection with ballot security activities.

“However, in spite of the restrictive original Consent Decree, attempts by the RNC to stop voter fraud – including caging – do still happen. In fact, Kansas Secretary of State (and former Kansas GOP Chair) Kris Kobach allegedly bragged about doing it as a local GOP official in 2007. If it were true that the RNC or its local affiliates could not try to clean up voter rolls or stop fraud at all, Kobach’s boast presumably would have been the subject of a court challenge, or would have immediately been reversed after such a challenge. Such a thing did not happen, so we must ask why not.

The answer is that the Consent Decree itself has been modified since its original version. Specifically, in 1987, the court modified it to be less restrictive. Why? According to a petition by the RNC itself asking for the Consent Decree to be stripped entirely by the Third Circuit Court (filed this year), it was because back then, even the Democrats admitted voter fraud was a problem:

In 1987, based on allegations arising out of the 1986 election for United States Senate in Louisiana, the RNC and DNC (but not the RSC and DSC) amended the consent decree, again with no admission of wrongdoing. The 1987 modification expressly recited that “the RNC and DNC recognize the importance of preventing and remedying vote fraud where it exits.” App. 0404 (1987 Decree Modification). The 1987 Decree stated that “the RNC may deploy persons on election day to perform normal poll watch functions,” but for all other “ballot security efforts” required the RNC to seek preclearance from the court “following 20 days notice to the DNC.”” From an article at the Blaze.

Republicans can fight fraud and contest elections, they just have to be careful about not doing so in a way that manipulates or can be claimed to manipulate minority voters!

ATTENTION:

Wisconsin board of elections has just posted an updated spreadsheet.

This appears to be through midnight last night (Monday night).

I see on the spreadsheet 1,746,943 now having been recounted. This is over 60% of the 2.9 million votes to be recounted.

Repeat— Wisconsin is over 60% complete in their recount.

I now see reports from Madison (Dane County) wards appearing. No significant variance from election day night results.

Some of the Milwaukee County (Milwaukee City) wards are now updating to 100% in that their absentees must have been counted and show no particular variance from election day night.

There are some freepers with better Excel skills than mine so I’ll let them do the absentee exclusions (for wards who have posted partial results pending their absentees).

My total vote count is accurate. Over 60% of the 2.9 million have been recounted. These cheeseheads are going to hit their deadline.

Okay thanks. I didn’t read that one, even though I saw it, because I refuse to go to anything associated with Glenn Beck. Used to like & respect the man a lot, but he has gone off the deep end in my opinion.
