The state is going to try to enact a law retroactively that makes the person requesting a recount pay the whole thing, but I don't believe that will actually hold up to appeal if they do pass it.


Yea, I don't think that would hold up, and I don't think it should. People take action based on what the laws are. You can't go and change them because you don't like something that previously occurred and enforce it as to that action.

So it will end the recount, if the state attorney general of Michigan is correct, which it seems he would be.

COA said there is no conflict with its ruling & fed court, so recount should end now. For clarity, we are filing to dissolve the fed TRO.

My understanding is Hillary cannot challenge the election results since she should have filed before deadline.

I've heard her talk. She's "aggrieved about everything.
She is certainly shrill and acting aggrieved is a very good word for describing her general demeanor.

She could file an amicus brief should Stein appeal to the SC of MI and they hear, although I'm not sure how much good that would even do.

But it's a federal election, not a state one. Bush v. Gore clearly stands for the proposition that federal courts can intervene in matters pertaining to a federal election (albeit they must apply state law). The fed courts supersede state courts as a general statement. It may be different in this case though. I don't know which is why I asked if someone else did.

The constitution deligates the power to the states to run/manage their elections (i.e. the selection of their own deligates for EC). It doesn't fall under federal jurisdiction until the "meeting of the electors" after each state governer has signed off. The only way federal courts can step in is on the grounds of discrimination. Constitution is pretty cut and dry about it.
