The State Court of Appeals has encouraged the Michigan Board of State Canvassers to reject Green Party candidate Jill Stein's recount petition, marking the latest turn in a flurry of legal drama over the recount.

The ruling comes after the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in a 2-1 decision U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith's Monday ruling allowing the recount to proceed immediately. In that ruling, the federal court determined the order issued by Goldsmith could be dismissed if state courts ruled the recount to be out of order with state law.

Following the state court ruling, Attorney General Bill Schuette said in a statement he would file a motion in federal court seeking to dissolve the temporary restraining order.

The state Court of Appeals ruling found that based on the accepted definition of who is eligible for a recount request, Stein is not an "aggrieved" candidate, as Stein attorney Mark Brewer had argued. It also concluded the Board of State Canvassers had a duty to reject the recount petition on those grounds and did not.

The Board of State Canvassers meets again 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

"The Attorney General and President-Elect Trump each allege that the Board had a clear legal duty to deny the petition because it was not made by a candidate who was 'aggrieved on account of fraud or mistake,'" the ruling read. "We agree."

The Michigan Republican Party and Schuette were jubilant over the state court's decision, with party chair Ronna Romney McDaniel labeling it a "win for Michigan taxpayers."

The Stein campaign applauded the 6th Circuit Court's decision and said they look forward to continue to fight for the recount, noting that the state court is still bound to the court order.

The recount has already begun in many of Michigan's largest counties. Ingham and Oakland counties kicked off the process noon Monday.

Trump won in Michigan's presidential election over Democrat Hillary Clinton by a margin of 10,704 votes. Stein came in fourth place in Michigan, earning 1.07 percent of the total vote.
