It’s about time this insanity ended.
This is beginning to look like another Wellstone moment for the RATs.
lawyers with the most money wins *Ping*
Stat court should normally prevail in an elections matter. Also any recount involves state tax funds and state officers to carry out. Fed judge can’t appropriate state funds nor can he require state employees to perform work at his order. IMHO.
Clinton would have needed to win WI, MI and PA in the recounts.
Trump would have needed to retain only one of them to win.
Unless they can find another state, it is likely over. Some are trying to get a recount started in FL.
Are they still counting in MI or have they been stopped? I read threads that say both. Which is true?
It’s real. Holy Shnikies!!
The combined effect of the two rulings appears to set up further court proceedings in front of Goldsmith and the Michigan Republican Party has already filed for another federal hearing.
“The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled in our favor, determining that the petition for recount filed by Dr. Jill Stein should have been denied,” said Ronna Romney McDaniel, chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party. “Dr. Stein is not an aggrieved candidate as she has no chance of winning the election in Michigan.”
Attorney General Bill Schuette said: "I’m grateful, and I know Michigan taxpayers agree, that the Michigan Court of Appeals has adhered to the rule of law," given that estimates of the cost of the recount are as high as $5 million -- more than $4 million more than the fee Stein was required to pay.
Andrea Bitely, a spokeswoman for Schuette, said the Michigan Court of Appeals said that “there is no conflict between” its order and the federal district court’s temporary restraining order, so the recount should end immediately.
"To ensure clarity for Michigan taxpayers, (and as recommended in the Sixth Circuit’s opinion issued this evening), the Attorney General is now filing in the federal district court a motion to dissolve the temporary restraining order," Bitely said.

This is going to get worse: Per Detroit News
LANSING — An attorney for Green Party candidate Jill Stein moved today to disqualify two Michigan Supreme Court justices from hearing cases related to the state presidential recount, saying both Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. and Justice Joan Larsen have been mentioned by President-elect Donald Trump as potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, and their involvement in the case would create an appearance of impropriety.
Southfield attorney Mark Brewer said in a court filing that both Young and Larsen appeared on lists of names Trump said he was considering for filling a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy, and Trump has said the list of names is “definitive and I will chose only from it in picking future justices.”
Now they want to disqualify two S Judges? They have this all plotted out- makes you wonder, they are hitting back hard at every angle but yet, Jill hasn’t been able to win any position she has ran for which makes me think even more so, Hillary and Soros are behind this scheming. If we do X, then ALREADY have Y and Z planned and know the outcome.
Hey I am HOPING she does a recount. I am hoping the recount demonstrates massive voter fraud.
Be careful of what you want here- we want ANY candidate to be able to recount any election right down to the individual precinct level.
This may be a head-fake by the dems- they do not want voter fraud to be discovered, so think carefully - how do THEY benefit from this? That is all they ever do anything for.
I'm very confused. Which is it?
Cha-ching !
Alawahoo Whackbar!
This was obvious, her own legal team was telling her this. This was never about winning an election, that ship has sailed and is halfway to The Orient. This recount effort was just something to get the troops out of their basements and back on the streets fired up.
