You need to read the bold I highlighted in the post.
Goldsmith’s language has been superseded by the language of the 6th circuit.
I don’t understand why the states let these fed judges push them around. The SoS should simply say that we certified our electors on the 28th and the MI COA ordered an end to the recount...done. Let Goodsmith say whatever he wants. Even if they recounted, the SoS doesnt habe to certify that count. These judges only have power because the states keep ceding theirs to them.
“You need to read the bold I highlighted in the post.”
But you need to understand what it is you highlighted.
The federal courts had a very narrow question in this matter. The federal District Court (lower court) had to determine if the counting should start Monday or Wednesday. It ordered that it be started on Monday. That decision was upheld by the federal Court of Appeals pending further order from the federal court of appeals.
That was ONLY a question of timing, not the propriety of having a recount at all. THAT is the province of the state courts which now have decided at the highest level that the recount petition does not meet state law requirements.
The state AG will now go back to the federal district court where Goldsmith should reverse his order in light of the state court’s decision; if he does not, the federal circuit court will. That would constitute a further order from that court.
