LANSING, Mich. - Attorney General Bill Schuette announced Friday that he filed a lawsuit on behalf of the people of Michigan to stop a request by Green Party candidate Jill Stein to recount the state’s presidential election results by hand.
The suit asks the Michigan Court of Appeals to order the Michigan Board of Canvassers to reject the request and says that the Michigan statute authorizing recounts requires the petitioning candidate to demonstrate that she was “aggrieved” by fraud or mistake.
“Michigan voters rejected Stein’s candidacy by massive margins but her refusal to accept that state-verified result poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers and abuses the intent of Michigan law,” said Schuette. “We have asked the court to end the recount which Stein is pursuing in violation of Michigan laws that protect the integrity of our elections. It is inexcusable for Stein to put Michigan voters at risk of paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process.”
Schuette also filed an emergency motion with the Michigan Supreme Court asking to bypass the Court of Appeals for immediate consideration.

The only thing she is aggrieved by is butthurt.
“potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process.”
Anyway, go gittem' Bill ...
What does “ a typical jock “ mean ?
Excellent move...takes a clearly defined case right to the highest courts - by the State AG, no less - without any delays.
On Monday the Courts in PA will convene a hearing on the recount request there. I predict the court will rule against the recount and this whole fiasco will die.
Nice enough guy, but, in those days, a typical jock ...
something wrong with that...?
“Recounts” are never really recounts when demanded by Democrats. They are re-votes.
At the time, more oriented on playing on the sports teams (football, baseball, basketball) than scholastics ... hanging out with all of the "cool kids" ... and, honestly, at the time, didn't appear to be the brightest bulb in the light.
As I said, a nice enough guy, friendly to most but self-centered with the "cool" kids ...
No, it won't. The left will then go to their appointed hacks, the feral courts.
....What does “ a typical jock “ mean ?...
Read the comic strip “Tank McNamara.”
Nope, nothing at all ... just reflecting back on my misspent high school days.
The only thing I ever banged in high school was the erasers
Good
When this coup attempt is squashed, one could reasonably expect some (Soros funded) street violence to appear in strategically chosen cities across the country
It will be interesting, and insightful, to see where it happens
And, for me, that always meant that there was more sound and dust than anything else ...
"The court finds that Petitioner's claim of 'butthurt' does not rise to a level of injury sufficient to meet the standard set by Statute."
Think Biff Tannen. I graduated with 9 varsity letters, always hated the dumb jock types.
No girls named "Lori" in your school, I take it.
