Recall petitions against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer can proceed, a Michigan court ruled on Thursday.
The Board of State Canvassers "correctly" approved the six recall petitions against Whitmer and one against Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, Judges Kathleen Jansen and Michael Gadola of the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday, rejecting one argument made by counsel for the governor as "unpersuasive."
Whitmer, who had argued these cases did not "adequately describe the authorities cited as reasons for the recall," plans to appeal the decision, campaign spokesperson Mark Fisk said.
"We plan to appeal this disappointing decision, and we fully intend to beat back these irresponsible partisan attacks against the governor in the courts, on the streets, or at the ballot. This is part of a massive and coordinated attack by Republicans trying to make the governor fail, and our campaign will strenuously oppose these efforts so the governor can keep saving lives, reopening our economy and creating jobs," he told MLive.
The Michigan Democrat has attracted controversy in recent months after the governor and several members of her administration were caught appearing to violate COVID-19 protocols.
Last weekend, Whitmer was spotted at the Landshark Bar & Grill in East Lansing when a photograph emerged showing the governor and several others, who were not wearing masks, with their tables pushed close together. The arrangement violated the state’s Department of Health and Human Services May 15 order mandating that all parties be separated by 6 feet.
After Whitmer apologized for the incident, the state rescinded the rule, and the health officer for Ingham County told the Washington Examiner that the bar wouldn't be cited or fined.

To whom will she appeal to? Supremes will say it’s a state issue.
Awesome.
My cousins wide and a friend of mine are members of the recall executive committee. I hope they take the witch down
Either en banc state appellate court or state Supreme court.
“on the streets”
Sounds like a threat.
Governor, are you threatening the citizens of the State of Michigan?
Did the peacefully well-armed protests in Lansing last year teach you nothing?
Tar feather and then run out of the state on a rail
"...so the governor can keep saving lives, reopening our economy and creating jobs..."
Killing Granny in the nursing homes, locking down the economy and enticing the workers with the weekly $300 BidenBucks sugar, and continuing the Biden Bucks sugar so jobs go unfilled.
If their lips are moving, they're lying.
“Recall petitions against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer can proceed, a Michigan court ruled on Thursday.”
Meaningless. The petitions can proceed but since the recall rules were changed it takes a ridiculous number of voters to sign them in just a short time to get on the ballot.
With the new rules Jews couldn’t recall Hitler in a fair election!
This worthless *itch is safe until the next election.
I have an easier cure to this problem: Stop voting democrat. We have this disease as well in New York. The morons here vote democrap then whine and complain when things go to hell, then what do they do when election time rolls around again? They reelect the same democraps or elect new ones. Just watch what happens in New York city, even the Marxists were complaining about DeBlasio but I guarantee you 100% they will elect another DeBlasio.
Oh, Whitler is doing a good enough job of that all by herself.
I thought it was Bruce Jenner that was the Governor of Michigan....
“I have an easier cure to this problem: Stop voting democrat. We have this disease as well in New York.”
I have solution for this problem and it would work in most states.
Require 50%+ amount in each county to win any statewide election.
If there are more than two running a runoff would have to be held.
Gone would be the days of one or two counties electing those that are supposed to represent the whole state.
It’s not the rest of the state’s problem that liberals want to live packed in like rats in a corncrib.
Look for a Newsome maneuver where Michigsn is totally safe now and can open up fully!
about exactly 14 months too late
as soon as she banned seeds for planting food and boats with gas engines she should have been placed in a straight jacket
... but the GOP - oh hell nothing else needs comment.
The Michigan Supreme Court has a 4-3 Democrat majority now.
and we fully intend to beat back these irresponsible partisan attacks against the governor in the courts, on the streets
