Midknight Review -- new and revised: The Michigan recount has been ordered to a halt.

The Michigan recount has been ordered to a halt.

U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith, who ordered the Michigan recount to begin Monday, sided with a state appeals court Wednesday to halt the effort,

On Tuesday, a Michigan appeals court ruled 3-0 that Green Party candidate Jill Stein should not have been allowed to demand a recount because she is not an "aggrieved candidate." Goldsmith, after hearing arguments from the state Republican Party and GOP attorney general, agreed. Understand that Stein, in essence, has "no standing" in this case because her loss to Trump is not in doubt, in view of the fact that she scored less than 2% of the state's vote.

"Because there is no basis for this court to ignore the Michigan court's ruling and make an independent judgment regarding what the Michigan Legislature intended by the term 'aggrieved,' plaintiffs have not shown an entitlement to a recount," Goldsmith said. Case closed.

Now, all that is left for the NeverTrump crowd is to convince electors in the Electoral College to refuse to vote for Trump. Should that effort be successful, the election would be decided in the House of Representatives. If Stein, the Clintons and the NeverTrump folks think that stealing the election from Trump would be met with nothing but peaceful protests, their heads are not screwed on right.

At any rate, this is only a bad dream for the Dems. Their efforts at refusing to accept Trump are failing and will be final in due time.

Since 1992, Democratic White House winners have won the popular vote by an average of 7.1 million votes while Republican White House winners have won the popular vote by an average of 84,000 votes.

We need a new election. Russian involvement has voided the election.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
