Michigan

A statewide hand recount of Michigan’s roughly 2.8 million ballots that began on Monday is now up in the air as a federal judge will hold a hearing Wednesday on whether to stop it.

The state elections board also is meeting Wednesday, a day after the Michigan appeals court ordered it to dismiss Stein’s recount petition, claiming she has no standing. The court noted that she received 1 percent of the vote and has no chance of catching Trump, who narrowly defeated Clinton in the state. A federal judge takes up the matter next.

According to the certified results from late November, Trump won the state by about 10,700 votes – or about two-tenths of a percentage point. The recount so far was looking at eight counties, including the state’s largest, Wayne.

The “recounts” are only the first step by the left. If the recount doesn’t reverse the result, then the left will then sue to have, 1) conservative blocks of ballots disqualified, 2) “undervotes” examined for possible “intent” for Hillary, 3) entire voting districts disqualified (in conservative areas) because of some imagined “fraud.”

Reminds me of the Democratic Party presidential primary in Kentucky this year. Hillary Clinton squeaked out a narrow victory, and all the Bernouts started shrieking about a recount. The recanvass happened and Sanders lost by a bigger margin.

I have a dumb question.

Why should a recount be preferred over the original count?

A very interesting couple of paragraphs:

A controversy also is brewing in that county [Wayne] as officials said Tuesday that one-third of precincts could be disqualified from the recount because of problems with ballots.

Wayne County – home to Detroit – overwhelmingly voted for Clinton late last month, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results. During the canvass, the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662.
