“LANSING The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Board of State Canvassers never should have allowed a recount requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein to proceed, because she has no chance to overturn the result of the presidential election in her favor and is not an aggrieved candidate.
The panel ordered the board to “reject the November 30, 2016 petition of candidate Stein that precipitated the current recount process.”
The ruling came out almost simultaneously with a 2-1 order from the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith’s Monday order that the recount must get under way at noon that day, which it did.
The combined effect of the two rulings appears to set up further court proceedings in front of Goldsmith.”
Game, set, match! ---------
Nice job by the state's lawyers. Watched it earlier and that was the line they took.
