“The announcement that it would seek an emergency federal court order on Monday for a recount came hours after it dropped a case in the state courts.”
I would think pretty much any Federal court would immediately reject such a request because the issue isn’t ripe for Federal consideration since the plaintiff failed to exhaust all possible State remedies first.
That was my first reaction, too. I think it makes the plaintiff look like they are court-shopping - which, of course, they are. This is an impulsive act of desperation. They are unraveling and are powerless to stop themselves. Hopefully, the federal courts will not cater to their collective mental breakdown.
This.
