"If subsequently, the Michigan courts determine the ... recount is improper under Michigan state law for any reason..."

Since "the Michigan courts" have not yet so determined--only a court has done so (the Michigan Supreme Court has yet to be heard)--therefore, the District Court Judge is still in full compliance with the 6th Circuit if he punts for now, pending Stein's presumed appeal to the MiSC.

Thanks for the clarity on the issue. Ignore the fact they are recounting (it is at the behest of a Federal judge with no authority) I’m curious if anything uncovered in this recount which is not a recount could be presented before a judge as evidence by either party.

The best thing would be for the MI Supreme Court to uphold the MI Appellate Court ... right after Jill has spent all her money. What better way is there for a socialist to learn about economics?

Like the box marked 306 ballots when only 50 ballots were in the box...the story was that the machine must have “jammed” and the ballots were counted 6 times.....then put into a box with the officials hoping that no one would ever find out. That precinct is now considered “unrecountable”...though the rule is the first certified count will stand! Over 200 false votes for Hillary....that is how the Dems do it, especially when they can get the courts to keep Republican poll watchers out!

How about 691 “unrecoountable” precinct boxes in Detroit and Wayne counties especially some which were over counted(like the box marked 306 ballots when only 50 were in the box...the story was that they were repeated 6 times thru the scanner “by mistake”...you can guess who won the vote totals in that district)

I agree. Goldstein is likely working at this moment to justify “modifying” his order as this language was included in the 6th Cir Appeals Court ruling. He is looking over the local court ruling and determine base way to rule that the recounts shall continue pending x, y, z...

I don't know about stuff that might be presented to a judge . However, if Jeff Sessions is smart, the DOJ should be taking a very close look at why up to 40% of Detroit's votes cannot even be recounted. That is a revelation which almost certainly indicates nefarious activity.

Why was Stein allowed to access the Federal Court system before exhausting her appeals through the Michigan State appeals process, including the State Supreme Court?

Detroit offers ID’s for ages 14 and over regardless of immigration status.

Correct as far as it goes.

However, since Stein/Clinton/Soros have not filed with the MISC as of yet, they may be figuring they don't have to, since absent a timely appeal, the recount would be allowed to "finish."

That would be an enormous mistake on Stein/Clinton/Soros' part: No Federal judge has made any ruling on the merits, and no Federal judge is going to do so, because they have no authority over state elections.

If Stein/Clinton/Soros don't appeal to the MISC, the a court becomes the highest court with jurisdiction, so that whatever the "results" of the "recount," absent a reversal, they are a legal nullity.

The Federal Court made a process directed ruling, not a ruling on the merits. Thus we have the unusual situation where a state court has actually mooted the decision of a court that is supposedly “higher.” Absent a reversal by the MI Supreme Court, the recount is now illegal, and none of its results can have any legal effect, regardless of what the Feds rule.

Incompetence and lack of funds are other possibilities. Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013.

My guess is that she made some claim that minorities were being disadvantaged, which would have triggered clauses of the Voting Rights Act.

Okay, so what is the Federal Court’s jurisdiction on either process or merit when the state court system has yet to finish ruling on either one?

Now, IANAL, but as I remember it Bush v. Gore produced a ruling that recounting only some of the precincts was not permissible. How does that play in here?

He rescinds it and saves face or gets savaged by the 6th Circuit.

He will most likely stall as long as he can. I guess there are no limits on his issuing his order?
