Why was Stein allowed to access the Federal Court system before exhausting her appeals through the Michigan State appeals process, including the State Supreme Court?

The Federal Court made a process directed ruling, not a ruling on the merits. Thus we have the unusual situation where a state court has actually mooted the decision of a court that is supposedly “higher.” Absent a reversal by the MI Supreme Court, the recount is now illegal, and none of its results can have any legal effect, regardless of what the Feds rule.

My guess is that she made some claim that minorities were being disadvantaged, which would have triggered clauses of the Voting Rights Act.
