I think I understand the article to say the court can halt it at any time and that without really commanding it the recount is to be completed by the 19th.

Update from ETR

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3501546/posts?page=47#47

Need the 6th circuit court, which is higher than the judge that said recount can start at noon, and 6th court is conservative.

Other thread on judge saying OK to start counting today rather than weds.

Thanks for bringing updates here. It will be the recount thread of record for future reference.

Michigan has sent list of presidential electors to the National Archives. Election was certified, official Nov 28. http://bit.ly/2gAkbEN “

Trump has his Electors from Michigan.
Recount has not, and won’t, delay Michigan’s Electors.”

I’m looking for the cert docs for PA & WI, similar to what you posted, mrsmith.

Anybody have a link?

Comments from fed judge Diamond re PA and Stein attempt to prevent GOP from being part of supervising recount

[mrsmith]

Don’t think Pa and Wi have certified their electors.
I expect, in future, more states to write laws certifying electors on the first certified vote notwithstanding recounts and challenges.
If a recount or challenge changes the result of the election then a new slate of electors can be certified (given time).

Schedule for Michigan recount:
“Chad Livengood ;@ChadLivengood · 27m27 minutes ago
Oakland and Ingham counties starting at noon today. All other counties on a staggered schedule over next 7 days: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/MI_Recount_Schedule_544025_7.pdf …”

A LOT of Detroit’s ballots may not be able to be recounted LOL!
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/05/recount-unrecountable/95007392/

Seems they were improperly handled...
A fun read!

“...According to state law, precincts whose poll books don’t match with ballots can’t be recounted. If that happens, original election results stand. ...”

And:

“...Republican President-elect Donald Trump won Michigan by a razor-thin margin, 10,704 votes. Presumably, Clinton’s best opportunity to eliminate that margin rested in finding uncounted ballots in Wayne County, which she carried by a 2-1 ratio.
