Federal judge's ruling halts Michigan presidential election recount. Stein has no legal standing.

Poor Hillary can't seem to get a break.

It's sickening how people are against a recount and its getting blocked and halted and whatever else.

Trump himself said there was MILLIONS of illegal votes. Why is his comment getting ignored? I don't care if he was just lying or not- the fact of the matter is a president-elect was whining about things being against him. He can't accept the fact he didn't win popular vote, so he runs his mouth off.

Hillary is crooked but Trump is just as crooked and evil (if not worse). Look at his cabinet picks so far- corrupt and evil people, several of which donated money to him in the past (recent example- Linda McMahon). It's clear it's pay-to-play.

I'm still calling it- Trump will be impeached 4-6 months into his term.

Be careful what you wish for. Look who is vice-president.

Realistically there is no way a bill of impeachment against Trump will ever be passed in Republican controlled House of Representatives.

Maybe he can get some tips from Clinton, the only 20th century president to ever be impeached.

Wish he had been, but he was actually acquitted by the senate on one charge and the other two failed to be passed by even the house. No president has even been impeached actually.

Too bad about a recount not happening with all the buzz about possible fraud. Now we will never know. I didn't support Stein in leading the recount though, seems like she duped people out of money.

Clinton was acquitted by the Senate but in order for that to happen he had to be impeached by the House.

CIA is now claiming Russia was helping elect Trump! There is reports that Russia hacked Republicans too- but kept the data. Hmmm.. so they kept it, to blackmail perhaps? Or because they don't want people to know the truth about BOTH sides?

This is nuts! Electoral college does their final vote later this month. Hopefully they know all the details about the election by then. I doubt they will elect Hillary but I think the chance is better than before.

I'm strongly thinking that Trump having Pence as vice president was a safeguard of sorts, so republicans can still cause all sorts of garbage! Look up the news about their plans to do big cuts to Social Security!

It's so sickening how people thought Trump would make "America great again". More like- make republicans and their friends richer, while others suffer. :x

but the people who support him think that one day they will be rich too, and be able to look down their noses at the rest of us left behind.

I don't get why Republicans feel so threatened by this recount that they feel the need to stop it. Its costs were covered by individuals rather than taxpayers, and it isn't going to change the actual outcome. It was only being done for the sake of transparency.

Something suspicious is going on, otherwise they should be fine with the recount.

They found many boxes were not properly sealed, and they also had numerous discrepancies between the optical scanner counts and the physical ballots in Detroit (where Clinton did well). So, she was unlikely to do much better.

Jill Stein only agreed to pay 1 million of the 5 million cost of the recount.
