Is there a ‘times up/ you lose’ provision in these state recounts? They have been certified already, for instance, in Michigan.

Hand counting millions of votes? Seems a backdoor way to deny the voters of that state the opportunity to vote.

Isn’t some showing of fraud necessary to even challenge the results?

Quite ironic Hillary and her MSM shills were lambasting Trump as a threat to the Republic when he wouldn’t admit he’d agree to the results. They didn’t bother to ask Hillary the same question.

The Electoral vote is suppose to take place Dec.19.

great question. Found this:

"States must make final decisions in any controversies over the appointment of their electors at least six days before the meeting of the Electors. This is so their electoral votes will be presumed valid when presented to Congress."

So the elector appointment must be done by Dec. 13.

If Trump waits til the last minute to file a RECOUNT PETITION OBJECTION in Michigan, it looks like he could run out the clock in the recount.

RECOUNT PETITION OBJECTIONS: On or before 4:00 p.m. of the seventh day after the original recount petition is filed, an opposing candidate may submit objections to the recount request to the Board of County Canvassers. The objections must be set forth in writing. A hearing is conducted by the Board to consider the objections.
A ruling on the objections is issued by the Board within five days after the conduct of the hearing. If the objections are overturned by the Board, the recount can commence after the second business day following the issuance of the Board’s decision. (MCL 168.868)"

Let's assume Stein files on the last day - 11/28/30.
Trump has 7 days to file the objection.
The Board has to meet for a hearing.(How long ?)
The board has to rule within 5 days of the hearing.
The recount starts 2 business days after the board decides ok.

They'll never finish a hand recount in time for 12/13/2016 and Michigan will not want to "not have" electors appointed.
