Judge to hold hearing on stopping Wisconsin recount

A state Court of Appeals decision on Tuesday concurred with complaints from Michigan Republicans that Stein did not meet the state’s legal requirements for a recount as an “aggrieved” party because she had not come close to winning.

The state high court denied the appeal Friday by a vote of 3-2. “There is still plenty of time for Pennsylvanians to learn whether this election was conducted with integrity, and whether each vote in Pennsylvania was counted”.

Trump narrowly defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in MI.

Stein compared Pennsylvania’s voting machines to electoral “black sites” with software that can’t be examined by voters or candidates.

Judge Paul Diamond promised that he would work toward coming up with a ruling “first thing Monday morning”. And Stein’s challenge is based on unfounded suspicions and acknowledges that it’s possible no evidence of hacking even exists, because sophisticated malware can be created to disappear after carrying out its task.

Federal law requires states to resolve disputes over the appointment of Electoral College voters by December 13. More than 20 counties so far were recounting ballots, and more were poised to start Thursday.

Had all three states voted for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton instead of Republican Donald Trump, Mrs. Clinton would have had sufficient electoral votes to win the election.

Monona recounted all of its ballots December 1. Philadelphia election officials recounted votes in 75 of 1,686 voting divisions. She has suggested, without evidence, that the votes were susceptible to hacking.

Peterson said Friday that the Wisconsin recount has revealed no irregularities.

To reverse Mr. Trump’s victory, reviews of ballots would need to turn up enough missing votes for Democrat Hillary Clinton to flip all three states.

Supporters of continuing the statewide presidential ballot recount maintain the slimmest of hopes that it might resume once the Michigan Supreme Court weighs in.

“Rather, Plaintiffs’ asserted right to a recount is just a restatement of her right to participate in a fair election, free from tampering or mistake”.

He said he would decide in a few days whether to dismiss the lawsuit completely.

Though the USA 6th Circuit Court of Appeals supported Goldsmith’s earlier decision and said the activity should continue, the Michigan Court of Appeals on Tuesday required the recount stopped.

The campaign has also asked two Michigan Supreme Court justices-Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. and Justice Joan Larsen-to recuse themselves.

Trump attorney Eric Doster says it’s “pretty clear” the board must end the recount because fourth-place finisher Stein isn’t an “aggrieved” candidate.

Stein is appealing to the Michigan Supreme Court. Those five members haven’t yet decided whether to take the case.

A Friday federal court hearing is scheduled in a separate Green Party request. In it, she said, “The courts have ruled that Jill Stein’s recount should stop”. Clinton defeated Trump in Nevada by 27,202 votes, out of 1.1 million votes cast.

A federal judge is set to consider halting Wisconsin’s presidential recount.

US District Judge Mark Goldsmith issued the written opinion late on Wednesday (7 December) after an attorney pleaded with him not to make taxpayers pick up the $5m recount bill.

Stein has been criticized by many and received remarks on her campaign and been referred to as a “common criminal” just outside the Trump Tower while attending a news forum. Stein is spearheading recount efforts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
