Along with the Trump complaint filing yesterday, this is good. NOTE THE END:

"The Detroit Free Press is also reporting that the state legislature plans to change the law on recounts to force candidates to foot its entire bill when the state doesn’t have to conduct a compulsory recount. They plan to make that regulation retroactive in order to force Stein to pay the entire $12 million estimated cost of a statewide recount, so that Michigan taxpayers don’t have to pay for Stein’s fantasies."

Is the strategy being exposed that they desire to appeal the matter to the SCOTUS?

I guess that would start at the Mich. State Supreme Court. Anyway, all of this for an asterisk?

Retroactive is hard to pull off in this case....but I would suppose it would make her think twice about continuing.

Steins a Hillary whore(one among many) and I’m glad our Michigan AG is calling a spade a spade, so to speak here. Hillary and Stein need to be relegated to the garbage bin of losers now and forever?

"They plan to make that regulation retroactive"

Is this legal?

Any indication on a timeline for the hearing of this lawsuit?

Stein is hoping that the courts turn down the recount effort. That way she gets to keep all the cash while blaming the courts or the republican AG. I’m sure she was pissed that Wisconsin decided to follow through with the recount because she had to part with the 3.5 million cost. Probably her scam all along!

“and risk missing the Electoral College”

That may be the actual goal. Gum up the works in enough states so they can’t submit EC votes in time.

Let’s not go there, Jill & Hill.

The way I see it, Hillary might have had a chance to request a recount in Michigan, she could conceivably be an aggrieved party, but she didn’t want to risk it. The way the law is written. Jill Stein doesn’t have a legal case. The cost to the state is a proper point, and should be considered.

Expect the mantra to begin "Every vote must be counted".

Disregard the fact that they have already been counted **twice** in Michigan.

PA, MI and WI going red aren’t just some sort of singular event.

This BS being pulled now only solidifies these states being red states going forward.

Funny that Hillary called Trump voters Degenerates....because in the end, the blue states only stand for Degeneracy...

Blue States are becoming black holes of degenerates, sucking the dependants, drug addicts, mentally ill, welfare crowd ever closer. Good news is, the Red States become better and better places to live!

Trump’s objection to the Michigan recount: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/Objection_to_Recount_Petition_544089_7.pdf

“there is no reason to rewrite Michigan election law to accommodate the conspiracy-minded requests of an acknowledged loser.”

Good for AG Bill Schuette!!!! He’s doing his job!!!

Stein is a Soros whore more than a Hillary whore. After President Trump takes office, AG Sessions needs to look into ways of putting Soros out of business!!!!

They should change the law so that you had to have received 2% of the vote to be eligible to demand a recount, funds or not.

Minor parties do this crap every presidential election year as a fundraising gimmick, and it's getting old.

The fact that she is only filing in those 3 states and admitting there is no evidence to warrant a recount makes the whole scheme illegal
