Our coverage of what suffices in the U.S. as a Presidential election 'recount' continues, with a federal judge ruling in Michigan that effectively stops the counting of paper ballots in the state following an earlier state court ruling that Green Party candidate Jill Stein is not an 'aggrieved candidate' and that, in any event, she presented no 'evidence' of fraud. How could she, without being allowed to examine the evidence in question? That, despite scores of precincts being deemed 'unrecountable' under MI's horrible state law, attributed in most cases to human error or computer vote tabulator failure that left Election Night ballot totals off by as little as a single ballot, in many cases, as compared to the number of those signed in to pollbooks. That case is headed to MI's Supreme Court.\xa0 In Pennsylvania, a similar, if even worse case of lacking 'evidence' of fraud has blocked forensic analysis of the otherwise completely unverifiable touch-screen voting systems there, while Stein has filed a challenge in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) for the type of examination that computer science and voting systems experts have been calling for. And in WI, a federal suit is likely to be filed on Friday calling for a statewide hand-count, after a state court found a new law past by Republicans last year allowed most of the largest (and Democratic-leaning) counties to re-tabulate by the same computer scanners that tallied votes (either correctly or incorrectly) in the initial count.
