I thought it was a Federal judge that ordered it.

But MAGA-trump tweets that it is in abeyance. Plus, one would think Stein would take an appeal immediately to the federal court.

Another thread is saying the Federal Court of appeals ordered the recount to continue. Crossed wires somewhere.

Mich. Court of Appeals decision would override the 6th Circuit, right?

It seems that the judge exceeded his authority when riling on a state matter

Wouldn’t an appeals court supercede a circuit court?

I wouldn’t think so, but I’m not 100% sure.

The federal ruling had to do only with moving the recount up early in time aka waived the 2 business day wait.

OK. It appears the 6th circuit ruling was upholding the early start of recounting. Stein will have to appeal to the 6th circuit now to restart from what I gather.

From the article regarding the 6th circuit ruling:

>>>In affirming the judge’s order, the 6th Circuit said: “If subsequently, the Michigan courts determine the ... recount is improper under Michigan state law for any reason, we expect the district court to entertain any properly filed motions to dissolve or modify this order in this case.”
