Michigan Recount Update for Dec. 7: What’s Happening so Far?

The historic Michigan recount has been underway since Monday in a few counties, but it could end December 7 because of a state court of appeals ruling.

The next step: A hearing on the recount started at 10:30 a.m. in front of U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith. However, complicating matters, a federal appeals court issued a separate ruling refusing to block Goldsmith’s earlier ruling that the recount should start immediately. The judge now says he will make a ruling in the afternoon....

Will the recount continue? That’s unclear until the latest hearing, but Republicans trying to stop the recount won a big victory December 6 when a state Court of Appeals panel ruled that Stein didn’t have standing to seek the recount in the first place under Michigan law because she is not an “aggrieved party.” That’s because she only received 1 percent of the vote in Michigan, and a recount would still give her no chance of winning.

According to the Secretary of State, Stein received 51,000 votes out of 4.9 million ballots cast in Michigan and is alleging “fraud or mistake.”

The Detroit News said the state court ruling did not “explicitly” order the recount to stop, though, causing even some clerks to be confused about what’s going to happen next.

Confusing matters more, the federal court, on December 7, opted not to overturn the ruling that had previously allowed the recount to start. The Michigan Attorney General had sought to block the recount in federal court.

The Governerd should just stop the recount.

I have no doubt he’s not going to stop the recount. He originally said the decision would come this afternoon. He’s trying to create a legal means to ignore Mi court ruling, count on it. If he was going to stop the recount he would have by now. I hope our side is prepared for it because they should have known what an Obama hack would do.

****

My take as well. Sad to say.

Just in: 6th Circuit says no to MI GOP request for entire bench review of order “inventing constitutional right to a (Jill Stein) recount.”

What does this mean?

It’s here , doesn’t look good

BTW, why does Fox News give Jill Stein ANY airtime? She is a machine that talks but does not listen. She LOVES to hear herself talk.. She's SICK. I'm talking 'MENTAL ILLNESS' sick, trying to tie recounts up in the courts PAST DEC. 13th in an attempt to stop the Electoral College from making the Trump presidency official.

I think that would be good no TRO, no recount for now. No?

[MarMema]

Depends on what S0r0$ says in his phone call to the “The Law Comes out of my Mouth” Judge.

Bravo.

[roostercogburn]

Yes,,, it’s over. No more recounting in MI

[MarMema]

I hay no doubt he’s not going to stop the recount.

Agreed.

[Cboldt]

I think that isn't a big deal (denial of rehearing en banc) because the issue decided is now moot. All they decided was the two day delay could be circumvented. The 6th circuit volunteered that if MI courts said "no recount," the federal court would entertain a motion to vacate (an improvidently worded) order that covered more than those two days.

From a federal court system view, the ball is in Judge Conehead's lap. If he finds a right to recount in contravention of MI court, the GOP can take THAT decision to the 6th Circuit.

[MarMema]

Says he has dissolved the TRO.
Look at your link.

[Kadric]

That has been my thought since the big cities started reporting before the rural areas on election night. They believed the polls and thought they had enough in place for a 2-3% win. I’ve never seen the large cities report first before.

[JerseyDvl]

After he demanded they start it’s now: Hurry up and wait.
