SOS or the election authority could deny a recount pursuant to state statute.
Then petitioners would have to go to court to get it overturned and show probable cause that could change the result, grounds for holding a recount vote.
They admit they don’t have such evidence. Going to be very hard for them to get a recount under MI rules.
hop you’re right In any case, the precedent of the Ohio recount that the Greens and Libertarians initiated in 2004, suggests the election-day results won’t be changed.
They start in Wisconsin. They find one (planted) “hacked” machine. They use that as probable cause in court in the other two states.
PA has a Democrat SOS. There is a reason that Soros funded a big project to try to get as many Democrat SOS’s as possible.
So the MI SOS is Republican.
Rejection by SOS is likely then.
So then the lawsuit dragging this past the December EC count deadline, possibly disqualifying MI and 16 Trump EC votes.
It is a Hail Mary on the part of the demon rats, but still possible.
More likely, stein might disqualify enough EC votes to deny Trump 270, but Hillary needs to flip all three states without disqualifying any of them to get to 270. I don’t see a likely Hillary win, but I do see a lot of resentment aimed at democrats for the unnecessary chaos and poor sportsmanship.
