LANSING Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette today issued the following statement after the Michigan Court of Appeals granted a Tuesday, December 6th hearing on Schuette's lawsuit against former Green Party candidate Jill Stein's request for a statewide presidential recount:
"I am pleased the Michigan Court of Appeals has chosen to take up the issue of the frivolous recount being demanded by Jill Stein. Her insistence on a recount despite only getting 1% of the vote has created chaos for our county clerks and will cost Michigan taxpayers millions of dollars. I am asking the Court of Appeals to rule on the side of Michigan voters and end this frivolous recount."
The Green Party has officially distanced themselves from her post election actions by press release, but who reads those beyond the beltway?...........
And who believes it?
IMHO, Hillary is terrified crosseyed. She took $Hundred$ of Million$ of Dollar$ from foreign gubmints and unsavory groups in exchange for huge potential favor and influence in her “guaranteed” presidency. Those people will be very upset by her loss, and may take extreme umbrage.
Same people who read it...................
It is the “Green Party” after all-
I don’t put a lot of stock in this. Some Greenies are probably fed up with her, but I think the party is just trying to inoculate themselves from negative fallout. I believe they enjoy the glory they’re getting from the millennial knucklehead and moonbat contingent, on which they rely.
Biography. Judge Mark A. Goldsmith was nominated to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan by President Barack Obama on February 4, 2010
Yes, this is the federal judge who made them start the recount today. Strange decision. The Michigan state-level judge can still cancel the recount.
She’s not trying to win it for herself. It’s ABT time for these kooks.
Problem is... the greenies are led by a cabal of Castro-worshipping, tree-hugging, capitalism-hating nutjobs. I'd venture to say being connected to "Silly crap" isn't something that grabs their concern.
They have already put out a CYA letter, to distance themselves from her actions....................
How would this MI fiasco stop the vote? They already have a certified count. And even if it somehow couldn't be submitted, it just leaves out their EC votes from the total. That lowers to threshold of votes Trump needs, but it doesn't change the fact that he would still have more EC votes than Hillary.
Marxists never give up even when they have been defeated. They just keep on plotting new ways to disrupt, emasculate, and destroy America.
This is the perfect example of why the Green Party is known as the “Watermelon Party” - Green on the outside; Red on the inside, and crazy as a roach motel full of bedbugs.
They aren’t trying to win the election!
They are in partnership with Democrats to:
Maybe get a win for Hillary;
Cast doubt on Trump’s actual win and therefore legitimacy of his Presidency, and
get a whole lot of donor names for their electioneering next time around.
Creeps, all of them. What happened to the cry of foul when Donald Trump would not state categorically that he would accept the results of the election if he did not win.
my understanding is.
(Michigan law is stupid)
any candidate on the ballot can demand a recount,
without paying a penny.
or not, please enlighten me.
Stein is just asking for what Mich law provides
