A federal judge who ordered Michigan to begin its recount effectively ended it on Wednesday, tying his decision to a state court ruling that found Green Party candidate Jill Stein had no legal standing to request another look at ballots.

The ruling seals Republican Donald Trump’s narrow victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton for Michigan’s 16 electoral votes.

U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith agreed with Republicans who argued that the three-day recount must end a day after the state appeals court dealt a blow to the effort. The court said Stein, who finished fourth in Michigan on Nov. 8, didn’t have a chance of winning even after a recount and therefore isn’t an “aggrieved” candidate. …

The current lame stream media narrative is “Narrow Victory” “Razor Thin Margin” “Loss in Popular Vote” etc etc etc.... Its subtle influencing.

You can't blame the poor lame-brain numbskulls. It's all they've got.

Problem, Trum out-flanked them on social media, and they're dead.     D. E. A. D.

Massive democrat voter Fraud in Detroit.

Trump’s real margin of victory is probably 100,000

They counted many democrat votes 6 times

If Hillary had won MI, AP would be describing it as a major win.

MSM is transparent when it comes to bias. Now that’s fake news.

Hillary got only 66% out of Wayne. She needed 80%.

She got 82% in Philadelphia but she still lost.

Not only taxpayers on the hook. Trum and the RNC had to pony up volunteers and lawyers in every county to observe the vote. That’s not cheap

Right.

It's time we all understand that the only "news" we get from legacy media is what the GLOBALISTS want us to see. It is all filtered and pre-approved.

Stein had Soros funding her. Soros has unlimited billions which Soros was happy to give to Stein.

So that’s unfair and illegal.Soros , Hillary and Stein must be arrested for this:

Every inner city precinct that had mostly black democrat poll workers should be suspect in voter fraud schemes. That’s how wide spread this dem voter fraud has become. The democrat bigwigs have been using black democrats to do their dirty work in urban precincts for far too long. It’s why dems fight tooth and nail to prevent voter ID laws.

Lots of democrats should go to prison over this.

Indeed, Stein has become full-blown unhinged and overwrought since she knows her fundraising efforts and attention whoring is coming to an end in a few days time...gotta milk it for all she can while it lasts!

It will _never_ be over as long as Jill Stein can find a lawyer and a court.

Hopefully the Supreme Court of Mars is ready—she will be there!

I like how this article states Stein “came in fourth”. Um, no. She came in LAST. No wonder the MSM is so hated.

God news for Michigan taxpayers anyhow.

-- the article says Stein can (will probably) appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court... --

She did that yesterday morning.

Jill Stein's joint application for leave to appeal

How hard was it to find this? LOL.

The real reason they stopped it is the vote fraud they found in Detroit
