If this judge doesn’t allow counting to begin, her effort is screwed. There’d be no way they could start a hand count Wednesday or Thursday and be done by Monday the 12th. All issues with a states electoral votes must be resolved by that day.

A three-hour hearing in federal court in Detroit has ended on Green Party candidate Jill Stein's request for an immediate start to a presidential recount in Michigan, with a federal judge saying shortly after 4 p.m. he would soon issue his decision in writing.

So, they would go through with the recount just for fun? Would a judge know this and realize it’s a huge waste of tax dollars?

I don’t know why libs do what they do. All I know is that MI certified its electors, sent in the list. It’s done.

Thank you. There’s also this:

The lawsuit is one in a series of battles involving the Nov. 8 election results and came amid legal challenges pending in front of the Michigan Court of Appeals that could halt the recount.

You should tell the state of Michigan that, because they don’t seem to be aware that a recount is pointless.
I think that you’re hearing second hand news that is inaccurate or incomplete. If it was too late for a challenge I don’t think that election supervisors would be gearing up for a recount at this moment.

Ballots need to have a none-of-the -above or no-vote choice. This was known after the Florida fiasco of 2000, but it would eliminate one of the ways Dems could cheat.

The evidence mounts daily that socialism and liberalism are mental abberations.

The good news from the Fed hearing in MI: state officials disclosed at the hearing that the state election results, showing Trump as the victor, have already been certified and Gov. Rick Snyder has already certified the Trump electors and sent that information to Washington, D.C. Denise Barton, an attorney representing the Board of State Canvassers, said that means the "safe harbor" requirement that electors be certified six days prior to the electoral college meeting on Dec. 19, has already been satisfied.

Michigan's electoral votes are guaranteed to count, except in the unlikely event that a recount shows Trump did not win Michigan's 16 electoral votes.

The bad news from the Fed hearing in MI: If the recount goes ahead immediately, Stein's people will have a great advantage, because they will have their hundreds of volunteers ready, and the Republicans won't

It is funny and confusing that Stein can tell the intent of 75,000 voters but Comey with 18 months of investigation. Could not prove Hillary's intent to bypass federal laws. Maybe Comey should appoint Stein as Director of Intent.

Michigan’s machines that we put our ballots in do not reject for leaving a blank spot for an office. It will reject if you try to cross party lines or fill in more spaces than asked for, but they DO NOT reject for non-vote. I see your point for none of above, but dems would that up, too.

I want to know how Screaming Look-at-Me knew about ballots where president was supposedly left unmarked. That sort if thing should be private...

I am not from Michigan, but probably what LS means is that they certified their votes last week to be sure. If the recount is not complete by the deadline, Michigan would be well within the right to simply go by the originally certified numbers (that were already counted twice) and select their electors by those numbers.

If it goes to USSC Trump will have to ask Ginsberg to recuse herself since she said she would leave the country if Trump won. That would be fun!

Yes Soros is going all out for the steal.

Stein who had only 1% of the vote and won no states would not gain anything from recounting these 3 states.All of a sudden an army of lawyers,a website, millions of dollars , a bot donating to Steins website for recounts ,a huge organization, a huge process materialize out of thin air or paid by the only one who could Soros? It's Soros.

And they still have a chance of recounting most or some of the 3 states to flip the electron not to Stein but to Hillary.
This is a coup attempt by Soros.

They are fighting furiously to recount only the 3 states that Trump won by the closest margin and that if flipped would give the election to Hillary not Stein as stein
Why would Stein plan all this huge scheme , army of lawyers , huge organization ,website , millions of dollars donated by a bot to her website. This is all a HUGE plan a scheme that's taken months to plan all done by Soros who has unlimited billions of dollars .

And the Gop is doing what to stop this coup? nothing The gop wants Hillary too.
I won't relax till December 19th when the electors vote or when I see Trump take the oath of office.

this judge is going to say yes to the recount. No way he would have a hearing on Sunday if he was going to say no.
Question for the lawyers. How does it get to the Feds before going through state court?

Don't be surprised with a 5 to 3...The girls will all vote to help Hillary if they can.

The men will be honest. This recount is a farce. Order for every state to certify vote to date and that's the end.
