U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith on Wednesday morning will hear arguments in an effort to halt the presidential election recount in Michigan as he reconsiders the restraining order he issued to accelerate the process earlier this week.

After Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein successfully called for an expedited recount, Goldsmith ordered the recount to begin at noon Monday, Dec. 5, which it did in Oakland and Ingham counties. Wayne County and others started recounting hundreds of thousands of ballots Tuesday.

But the state Court of Appeals late Tuesday found that Stein's recount petition should be rejected. That comes after the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to allow the recount to proceed.

In that ruling, the federal court determined Goldsmith's order could be dismissed if state courts ruled the recount to be out of order with state law.

That brings the case to Wednesday morning at the Theodore Levin U.S. District Courthouse, in which Goldsmith will hear a motion from Attorney General Bill Schuette to dissolve the restraining order that banned state officials from delaying the recount.

The state Court of Appeals ruling found that based on the accepted definition of who is eligible to a request a recount, that Stein is not an "aggrieved" candidate.

Michigan's Republican Party and its attorney general celebrated the court's decision, calling it a "win for Michigan taxpayers."

"I'm grateful, and I know Michigan taxpayers agree, that the Michigan Court of Appeals has adhered to the rule of law, and clarity in our Michigan statute in agreeing that Jill Stein is not an aggrieved candidate and the recall must stop," Schuette said in a news release.

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.
