JILL STEIN WHINE



 

Michigan Appeals Court Order to Halt Recount Sets Up Conflict with Federal Courts

FLASH BACK

It looks increasingly likely that at least one member of the United States Senate may owe his seat in the world’s greatest deliberative body not to his charisma or the persuasiveness of his message but to voter fraud.

As the Wall Street Journal's John Fund reports, Minnesota Democrat Al Franken’s narrow, 312-vote victory in 2008 over incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman may have come as the result of people being allowed to vote who, under existing law, shouldn’t have been.

[See who gave the most to Franken.] The certification of Franken as the victor came only after a series of recounts dragging out for almost half a year. It also sparked an investigation by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group that compared the list of those recorded as having voted in the election against what Fund calls “criminal rap sheets.” The group found, in what appears to clearly warrant further and official inquiry, that

… At least 341 convicted felons voted in Minneapolis's Hennepin County, the state's largest, and another 52 voted illegally in St. Paul's Ramsey County, the state's second largest. Dan McGrath, head of Minnesota Majority, says that only conclusive matches were included in the group's totals. The number of felons voting in those two counties alone exceeds Mr. Franken's victory margin. [FULL]

SIDE BAR:  Coleman was initially named the winner. It was only after a series of recounts, where new ballots were "discovered," that a Minnesota judge ruled that enough was enough and gave the seat to Franken. This was the same tactic Democrats used in Maryland, and Washington state.


Failed Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein sued for a recount in Michigan. That suit has created tension between Michigan’s state government and the federal government.

Tuesday evening, Michigan’s Court of Appeals ordered a halt to the recount, saying Stein was not an aggrieved candidate who would benefit from a recount. At the same time, the 6th Circuit ruled the must proceed. [FULL]

The state panel said that to qualify as “aggrieved,” Stein “must be able to allege a good faith belief that but for mistake or fraud,” she would have had a reasonable chance of winning.”

Without going back for the actual numbers, I'll say the SCOTUS ruled  472 times that a challenger to Obama's eligibility (phony birth certificate) "had no standing."  End of story.

Here's what worries me about Jill Stein's farcical recount scheme.  We know from past Democrat challenges to the election of a GOP candidate what he game is.
Just get it close enough Somewhere in a warhouse misplaced, uncounted ballots, will surface and .... you know.

Let's not forget Loretta Sanchez...

There are really too many to count ...

Or Christine Gregoire -
Remember, recount only heavily Dem districts (King County, WA, Palm Beach Co., FL; e.g.) so that the discovery of a box of "uncounted" ballots in the front seat of an election official's car begets only a "Yawn, business as usual..." reaction.
Vote fraud should be a capital offense.
