Well, experts say the federal court can usurp the state’s authority. All righty then!
And most of Detroit’s ballots can’t be recounted because of ‘irregularities’: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/05/recount-unrecountable/95007392/
The Dems’ chances have gone from insignificant to non-existant.
The judges comment that “the right to vote, and to have that vote conducted fairly and counted accurately” is a true statement for every single election anywhere and any time. Without *evidence* of wrongdoing, it is meaningless because no more applies to this election than any other. It is NOT a reason for a recount, without substantial evidence of which there is none.
Im pretty sure the only thing the Federal Court did was order the recount to start earlier than per law - Monday rather than Wednesday and is to continue while the appeal is heard by the Michigan appeals court.
Schuette tweeted that he had filed in a federal court as well on about 6pm last night.
Demand a California recount.
Federal courts have zero jurisdiction over the state law of elections. This is outrageous it will be bitch slapped hard by the appellate court within hours!!
The really funny thing is that the only law that would have arguably applied is the “Voting Rights” act but that law unconstitutionally only applies to SOUTHERN STATES!!! Bwaaahhhhaaaa!!
So my FRiend is this pissing you off greatly? Because I have been pretty PO’d for a few days now.
This evening I filed in federal court to protect the interests of the taxpayers of Michigan and stop @DrJillStein's frivolous recount.

I am asking the Court of Appeals to rule on the side of Michigan voters and end this frivolous recount.
I will be on @TeamCavuto at 4:30 p.m. today! Make sure you tune in!
The Federal courts have no authority with regard to the appointment of electors by the Legislature of Michigan.
Filing an appeal a) recognizes the authority of the court (mistake); and b) binds the appellant to the outcome (very bad mistake).

A strong ruling about empowering the MI slate as is also would send a signal to faithless electors: if we can empower slates, then in the same vein, we can disenfranchise the faithless (perhaps permanently) and instantly promote alternates.
