I am not (yet) convinced the Detroit paper’s analysis is correct. It is still a state election of state electors and the issue is in the stete’s courts. I’ve not seen a cogent explanation how the matter is properly withdrawn a federal court’s jurisdiction, at least at this time. I’m remaining open minded to see if more info is forthcoming

The Federal Courts do not have nor have they claimed to have, jurisdiction in this matter. The Federal District Judge made it clear he was not ruling on the merits. He was simply directing the recount to proceed as a procedural matter to insure that it could finish in time if it was valid.

The Circuit Court above him ruled he could do that. But they also did not rule on the merits of Stein/Clinton/Soros' petition.

The recount is now invalid. The District Judge can refuse to dissolve his order, but it is meaningless for him to do that, because whatever the recount comes up with MEANS NOTHING. It is as of this moment an unlawful exercise, and it cannot change the outcome of MI's results from November 8th.

The only hope Stein/Clinton/Soros now have is that the MI Supreme Court will overturn the MI Appeals Court. That's all. There is nothing that the US District Court, the US Circuit Court, or any other US jurist can do to make this a valid recount at this point.
