Loathing in high gear. No rights for Michiganders.
By an Obama appointed judge.
Was anyone really surprised?
I don’t think either Stein or Hillary is terribly popular in Michigan and elsewhere because of this continuing nonsense. While it would have been nice to have had the whole thing thrown out, tbh, it has not been cheap for them on most fronts to have salvaged only about 3-5 net votes in WI so far.
They better count really really fast!
Uh... hasn’t the results already been certified by the MI Secretary of State?
Who pays for it. Need to send the judge documents to sign saying the Fed government will pay. I the judge don’t sign, no recount. If the judge does sign, it’s obligating the government without authority. A federal crime.
Margin of victory too wide for them to steal. Plus Trump is no McRomney. He fights like a democrat. He wont let them steal it
This is what people are worried about. Not that a legal recount would change anything. But that activist judges would ignore the law and ram through their agendas. Al Franken won by demanding a recount and then fraudulently adding votes. He did it pretty much all in the open.
Even if they fail to overturn the election results, this controversy establishes a narrative. In two years or so, more than half the country will be convinced that the election was rigged and Trump is a usurper.
Two things:
1. This is total crap and a financial burden on the state of Michigan. Should we just change our laws to have a perpetual election until the party of our choice wins?
2. Jill Stein continues her quest to become the most hated person in America. She has no hope of winning and files a frivolous lawsuit as a “straw buyer”. I wonder what her personal payoff is for fronting Hillary?
How can they possibly verify the eligibility to vote of those casting 4.8 million ballots...oh wait...wut?...that’s not the issue?...never mind.
I like the recounts. It will backfire like everything else they’ve tried. Trump has outsmarted these fools every step of the way. They are wasting time and energy, blowing millions, and, though i didnt think it was possible, democrats are becoming even MORE unpopular. The best part is Trump has pulled even further ahead in Wisconsin and these morons are paying for it! So much winning!
It looks like she went judge shipping and ended up getting more than her money’s worth...
Needs to be shut down by the Federal Court of Appeals Monday. The 6th circuit overseas MI and is majority conservative.
They just need one federal appellate judge to stay this judges illegal order and let the matter resolve itself in state court or at least till a 3 judge panel of the 6th circuit can hear the appeal of this ruling.
Let’s hope the MI AG and Trumps attorneys are filing for immediate relief and an immediate stay on this lower judges ruling as I am writing this!!
Hello Michigan Freepers! Do any of you know what the recount procedures are re the “undervotes”? That seems to be the focal point of Dr. Stein’s efforts - remembering Florida’s hanging chads and discerning “voter’s intent” from whatever the Dems could make up. Can the MI GOP have witnesses/observers to help mitigate attempts to that effect? Does the State mandate a witness/verification procedure? I am so cynical at this juncture it is easy to conceive the hard-core Dems in Wayne County and elsewhere “miraculously” finding 11,000 Hillary votes in the undervote stacks....
Perhaps the state of Michigan should tell the federal judge he has no jurisdiction in the case citing Article II Section I of the Constitution which gives each state the authority to chose its electors by any process it chooses:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”
So Hillary has to insert/or trade about 6,000 ballots. Sounds pretty easy via a hand count.
Now there is a different case where the Michigan Attorney General has petitioned the Michigan Supreme Court to halt the recount and order the original numbers certified. That case hasn't been heard yet (should be today or tomorrow). If the Michigan Supreme Court orders the recount halted, then this federal court decision is completely moot...
How does a federal judge have jurisdiction in this matter?
