Federal judge shuts down presidential ballot recount effort in Michigan

A federal judge has shut down a presidential ballot recount effort in Michigan, securing Trump's victory in the traditionally democratic state. On Tuesday, Michigan appeals court ruled that Green Party candidate Jill Stein should not have demanded a recount because since she is not an "aggrieved candidate." Stein and her campaign team said they continue to fight to protect for the recount and to protect the voting rights of all Americans. The news came as a disappointment to Stein's supporters, but several Michigan officials lauded the court's ruling.
