Michigan’s attorney general has filed a lawsuit trying to stop a presidential election recount in the state:
“Michigan voters rejected Stein’s candidacy by massive margins but her refusal to accept that state-verified result poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers and abuses the intent of Michigan law,” Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, a Republican, said. “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.”
Donald Trump’s lawyers have also objected to the recount in rather similar terms. In the official count that Jill Stein seeks to have recounted, Trump won the state by 10,704 votes over Hillary Clinton.
