Story highlights Stein can file an appeal with the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals

Michigan is one of three state where Green Party candidate Jill Stein has sought a recount

(CNN) A federal judge has ordered Michigan's Board of Elections to stop the state's electoral recount.

US District Judge Mark Goldsmith issued the order late Wednesday -- dissolving a previous temporary restraining order against the Board of Elections that allowed the recount to continue.

Goldsmith's latest opinion effectively denies Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's request to block the Board of Elections from halting the recount.

Stein on Thursday morning called the decision "disheartening."

"It's disheartening a judge gave in to Donald Trump and Michigan Republicans, and lifted his emergency order that had kicked off #RecountMI," she tweeted.
