The question has nothing to do with law or tradition, but whether the judge is a conservative or a liberal. Hmmm? Detroit? Guess what he is.
He is a Barry Soetoro appointee.
My prediction is that the recount will go forward.
Yeah, he seemed skeptical in arguments the media is saying. Typical cover from them. I agree with you. He’s gonna say “oh, it won’t hurt..let them count.”
I cannot even fathom why, 20 days out from the election, that they would even consider a recount.
So this judge could force the recount to begin but it could be halted at a later date when the appeals court makes a ruling. Am I reading this correctly?
If this judge decides to the the recount go forward, the appeal will be to the Sixth Circuit of Appeals, where there are fifteen Republican appointed judges to nine Democrat appointed judges. See:

Chances for good guys look good.
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.
