“We have asked the court to end the recount which Stein is pursuing in violation of Michigan laws that protect the integrity of our elections. It is inexcusable for Stein to put Michigan voters at risk of paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process,” he continued.

Schuette’s lawsuit calls Stein’s effort “dilatory and frivolous” given the failed presidential candidate’s admission that she has no evidence of fraud or widespread errors occurring in the state’s voting process. The attorney general said he also filed an emergency motion with Michigan’s Supreme Court “to bypass the Court of Appeals to ensure a timely process.”

Stein has already gathered more in her 'recall' vote fund than she did in her entire campaign fund.

Trump Is Done Playing Games With Michigan Recount

President-elect Donald Trump and Michigan state Attorney General Bill Schuette have filed suit to stop a recount requested by former Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein.

Like Trump, Schuette argues that Stein is not an “aggrieved” candidate, and therefore does not have standing to request a recount.

Stein won approximately 50,000 votes in the state, and cannot realistically hope to prevail via recount. The state also argues there isn’t time to conduct a recount, as the electoral college will formally cast its ballots for president and vice president on Dec. 13.

“Stein, in fact, finished no higher than fourth in any state where she appeared on the ballot. Yet despite being just a blip on the electoral radar, Stein has now commandeered Michigan’s electoral process,” Trump lawyers wrote in their complaint.

“[The law] has never been understood to permit challenges by bottom-dwelling (and thus not aggrieved) candidates like Stein,” they added. The president-elect is represented by heavyweight recount lawyers Gary Gordon and John Pirich, as well as Donald McGahn, the incoming White House Counsel.

The board will consider Trump’s request today and has five days to render a verdict. Before Trump filed his objection, recounts were scheduled to begin in several counties on Friday, and in others over the weekend. If the canvassing board sides with Trump, no recounts will take place.
