The Attorney General and President-Elect Donald J. Trump have filed separate complaints for mandamus, each asking this Court to compel the Board of State Canvassers (the Board) to reject the November 30, 2016 petition of Green Party Presidential Candidate Dr. Jill Stein to recount the votes cast in the November 8, 2016 general election for the Office of President of the United States, and to cease any and all efforts to conduct the requested recount. Both the Attorney General and President-Elect Trump assert in part that Dr. Stein’s petition failed to meet the requirements of MCL 168.879(1)(b) because she is not an aggrieved candidate. We agree and issue a writ of mandamus.

Maybe Goldsmith is recounting the recess.
Probably taking a call from Obama or Hillary
needs to make sure the check clears
If he’s honorable he’ll say no to a recount and end this scheme by Stein right away!
I hope he’s not getting secretly bribed in chambers.
Money should not talk in this case unless Jill foots 100% of the bill
hes going to rule in savor of Jill even tho they said they where working with the Clinton camp witch is illegal
Lawyers at Jill Stein recount hearing return, packing up. Judge going to issue written opinion later

Maybe he’ll never issue it lol
Hmmm. We’ll just have to wait.
That's what I was thinking. He was in a hurry to get the count started, and mission accomplished, it is in his interest to delay deciding the issue he heard today.
Meanwhile, the GOP has requested en banc rehearing at the 6th Circuit.
Just like a soap opera: I missed an hour and I missed nothing.
“As The Judicial World Turns” LOL!
I see the judge even tried to get a bond from Stein for the recount so he wouldn’t get blamed for the waste of the state’s money.
Now delaying his ruling.
Desperate. Floundering.
Thank ypu!!! I have been trying hard to make yhst ckear here. Now he will find a way to rule to keep us recounting.
For following a federal law?
Yes. Thank you. I have been trying to say this judge wants to hurt his own state and keep the recount in place.
Well, there’s only so much he can do.
Stalling his ruling so today’s recounting finishes is his last gasp.
Can’t wait to see what he puts in his ruling to ameliorate what a fool he’s made of his court.
The BIG LIE is the best lie...
One county finished it’s recount:
“Chad Livengood ;@ChadLivengood · 1m1 minute ago
JUST IN...
Ingham County final recount report in:
Clinton +138
Trump +73
Johnson +2
STEIN -2
Castle -2
Soltysik -15
CLINTON NET GAIN: +65”
Wow! LOL
Not clearly at all. He has already over ridden one of our state laws. Why not a few more?
Whether the recount CONTINUES you mean.
Lansing. No sweat. Big time liberal land.
That’s what I hope. That there is only so much he can do. I have serious doubts that this prevailing opinion here will hold up.
Judge is waiting to the last moment, like a child trying to hide his dirty hands.
Board of Canvassers want to go home.
Not 4-0?
It's the judge holding them 'hostage', but a Dem HAS to lie.
Guess judge is going to lift his stay at 5 PM, end of business day.
