This suit was filed because no state court can overturn the order by the U.S. District court.

I believe the US District court order was limited to "start on Monday, instead of waiting two business days until Wednesday".

I think the two day delay was to give the state time to appeal. That appeal was made to the MI court of appeals, and the hearing is tomorrow.

If the MI court says: "no recount", it's over aside from an appeal to the MI Supreme Court.

I don't know what the grounds for the appeal to the 6th Circuit might be, unless there's more to the US District's order.

Thanks #14. State prerogatives govern in this case and Federal Courts are loath to step in and diddle with state election procedures in the absence of a clear violation of a Federal issue.

No Federal issue here. Just a sour-grapes supposition with no supporting evidence.
