Michigan Court of Appeals gives Mandamus ruling to canvassers.
The Michigan Court of Appeals has ordered [suggested?] the canvassers to do their job. There was no reason to hold a recount when the outcome was not going to benefit Stein, and that she was not an aggrieved candidate with standing.
Jill Stein has no reason to continue. The recount will end. The federal decision was not in conflict with what should have happened in the canvasser’s hearing. The federal decision was unrelated to the decision by the canvassers, and was timing related only. Thus, as reported by the Detroit Free Press:
Andrea Bitely, a spokeswoman for Schuette, said the Michigan Court of Appeals said that “there is no conflict between” its order and the federal district court’s temporary restraining order, so the recount should end immediately.
Time to go report to your masters Jill.
You failed to start a chaos driven event.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the federal government a creature of the individual states, and aren't states (according to what Stein-Clinton-Brewer refer as that "pesky" Constitution) supposed to have final say on how they elect individuals to office?
Adding insult to injury, about half of Detroit's ballots cannot be recounted (is ANYONE really surprised by this?).
Talk about being hoisted by their own petard!
It gets worse. Kyle Olson reports on a post by a volunteer Ken Crider.
If this doesn't say a lot about what might have been going on in the big D, I'm not sure what might.
Perhaps Ms Stein has inadvertently opened some eyes?
