Actually, the 6th Circuit appeal left open the door for the Michigan Court of appeals to say the recount shouldn’t have happened in the first place, and then the parties can re-litigate to the federal appeals court. Note the initial order was the recount to start immediately instead of waiting 2 days for Trump to appeal, but that ruling did not look at the merits of the recount.

They were deciding different things. MI Court was determining if count should take place at all. Fed ruling was if they should start before Wednesday.

So, in my mind, the MI Court has said the recount itself is not legal. Stein now has to get that over-ridden. I’m no lawyer, btw.
