I’m not saying it doesn’t exist. Lol. I’m just saying that it has no bearing on the recount process in Michigan. If it did, there wouldn’t be active court cases going on right now. Or active recount training by election supervisors.
Stein claimed there were 75,000 blank ballots in Detroit.
Wayne County:
802,195 ballots cast
782,719 votes for president
So, 19,464 (2.4%) said “none of the above”
See Wayne County results:

(Even IF it’s 75,000, that’s 9% - not a stretch!)
- Stein has no proof of voter fraud supporting Trump to win the state.
- Stein is not “an aggrieved” candidate per Michigan law because she is nowhere in position to win any recount as being a candidate with only 1% of the votes received.
- Stein may cost Michigan taxpayers up to 12 million dollars to do the recount.
- There is not enough time to finish a recount and may disenfranchise Michigan voters to participate in the electoral college.
It really is an open and shut case against Stein (Hillary’s stalking horse).
Doesn’t matter to the Dems and socialists what the judge rules.
If he overrules the Michigan law requiring a delay- Trump wins and the Dems and socialists whine “illegitimate”.
If he doesn’t overrule the Michigan law requiring a delay- Trump wins and the Dems and socialists whine “illegitimate”.
I’d guess he overrules Michigan’s 2 day delay requirement in light of the ‘safe harbor’ SC 5R to 4D ruling. It’d be a slap at that ruling which the Dems despised... and is overturned on appeal.
Will you knock it off? She’s in court to get the Feds to order the recount to start now instead of waiting until possibly Wednesday after the state courts rule. The Federal courts will most likely reject her plea and remand to the state courts telling her to wait until they make their decision. Either way the state will stop it one way or the other when the Michigan Supremes rule against her on Tuesday. As LS has mentioned, the electors are already certified so basically this is all wasted energy.
The level of hysterics here and basic lack of reading comprehension skills is getting to be beyond annoying. Is this recount business frustrating and annoying? Yes it is but stop with the they’re stealing it on every post.
Sweet Jill was in a hurry and sued to get the recount to begin tomorrow. She lost that particular suit.
There has not been a halt to the recount. This morning was just about forcing it to begin earlier than Wed, which is when it is now scheduled to begin.
Many people misunderstood this entire thing.
I will absolutely knock it off
That said, I don’t trust any of these cretins
They will pull out all the stops this time
I pray I am wrong
Each machine records a number of "undervotes." It doesn't single out any particular voter or ballot, just the number of voting sessions where voters used the machine, but didn't select a candidate for a certain office. At least that's how it works in my district.
Right. I love Schuette. So much. Would love to see him run.
+100
Stein filed to get the recount started tomorrow instead of on Wed. in federal court.
The suit to have the count begin tomorrow was heard this afternoon. A decision was forthcoming, but I haven’t seen it reported yet.
You have?
Oh oops, sorry - see you already have it covered.
No doubt they will. However, SCOTUS is evenly split. If the 6th Circuit decides in favor of Trump and SCOTUS evenly splits, the 6th Circuit decision will stand. Still a risk, but some hope. Wish Scalia was still there.
Though I hope she loses, her request to begin the count immediately makes sense. If the vote is already certified, she needs to complete the recount in time or the original vote will stand. I don’t think that this request indicates anything sinister, though her overall behavior does.
No she is hoping none are finished. Trump will get all the ec votes he won if they do not finish.
Yeah, delaying the recount makes only a little sense- allowing for preparation for the Parties to supply observers and lawyers.
I’d say let the recounting start as soon as a precinct is ready.
(Plus the judge gets to snark at the ‘Safe Harbor’ SC ruling).
What would be BEST is to start the recount and have the courts stop it since she isn’t an aggrieved candidate.
Then CHARGE her for what recounting was done LOL!
They are every bit the same as Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. And you can be certain if the day ever comes that they have absolute control of the government in this country, that it will NEVER go back without a civil war!
I’m not sure that’s the case. They may be forced by law to do the recount, without it having any impact whatsoever.
