The Michigan presidential election recount is set to begin Monday after a federal judge cleared the way — despite objections from President-elect Donald Trump.

U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith, acting on a suit by Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, ordered the recount to begin by noon Monday, Politico reports. The order came just after midnight on Monday.

Obama Appointed Liberal Judge Orders Hand Recount in Michigan

Judge Mark Goldsmith issued the ruling after midnight on Monday morning.

The hand recount of the paper ballots will never be completed by December 13th.

Michigan has 16 electoral votes. The state was finally called on November 28, 2016, twenty days after the election.
Trump won Michigan by 11,000 votes.

    MI to be recounted despite no evidence of fraud, plus no electronic voting machines to “hack”. Clearly an attempt to delay until Dec 19th.

The Detroit News reported:

    A federal judge has ordered Michigan election officials to begin a massive hand recount of 4.8 million ballots cast in the presidential election at noon Monday.

    U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith issued a ruling just after midnight Monday in favor of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who sought to let election officials bypass a two-business-day waiting period that would have delayed start of the recount until Wednesday morning.

    Goldsmith’s order said the recount “shall commence and must continue until further order of this court.”

    “Defendants shall instruct all governmental units participating in the recount to assemble necessary staff to work sufficient hours to assure that the recount is completed in time to comply with the ‘safe harbor’ provision,” of federal election law, Goldsmith wrote.

    The deadline to finalize the vote total for the Electoral College is Dec. 13 and federal election law requires a period of “safe harbor” for presidential electors before the presidency is finalized on Dec. 19.

    The manual recount process was scheduled to begin Wednesday as specified by state law, and in a rare Sunday hearing in federal court, Goldsmith had questioned the harm posed by waiting.

    Stein’s lawyer Mark Brewer argued the case was aimed at ensuring the integrity of Michigan’s voting system and that the required waiting period violated Stein’s rights to due process and equal protection. He pushed for the recount of 4.8 million ballots to start immediately, which he said would be Monday morning.

    “There are questions raised throughout the country about the integrity of the election system,” Brewer told the judge in front of a courtroom filled with about two dozen people, including state Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel. “It’s not just rhetoric.”

"Goldsmith’s order said the recount 'shall commence and must continue until further order of this court.'”

It's entirely possible that, after a week or so of recounting, and if finding minimal difference from the original figures, he will order the recount to be stopped so that a timely electoral count submission can be made...

Especially if the story about many of Detroit's votes being ineligible for recount is true. Imagine the liberal judge hoping to flip the state to Hilliary only succeeding to reduce her overall total.
