The final decision will be up to the state judge. Federal sided with trump to halt it, but
didn't intervene to stop it.

"The panel of judges on Michigan’s Court of Appeals accepted Schuette’s and Trump’s arguments that Stein, who came in a distant fourth place in Michigan, was not an “aggrieved” party with standing to challenge the election results.

At the same time, the judges appeared to acknowledge that their order would not take effect in light of Goldsmith’s original ruling, the Detroit Free Press reported.

The challenge to the recount will now head back to Goldsmith."
