......I’m not an attorney, so can you tell me if it helps that the Michigan Supreme Court smacked Jill Stein down today? One would hope so.
Yes, it does. They could have summarily denied her request to be heard without making a remark about it. Notice the MI SC order includes a dissent that would have given Stein a recount. The dissent does have a point, in that certain privileges are attached to obtaining a SMALL FARCTION of votes, and if a candidate is close to those threshholds in a contest, the exact count may make a difference in obtaining those privileges. 5% of the votes cast (nationawide) gives the privilege of the party being included in the state's next presidential primary, and federal public funding of a campaign turns on party popularity in past election contests, too.
