According to The Hill, Goldsmith's ruling found that Michigan's law that requires a two-business-day wating period for a recount likely violates voting rights and said the "plaintiffs here have shown a credible threat that the recount, if delayed, would not be completed by the 'safe harbor' day."

In his ruling, Goldsmith said a state law that requires a two-business-day waiting period to begin a recount is likely in violation of voting rights, according to the Detroit Free Press.

In his ruling, he said the "plaintiffs here have shown a credible threat that the recount, if delayed, would not be completed by the 'safe harbor' day," according to Politico.

"The fundamental right invoked by Plaintiffs — the right to vote, and to have that vote conducted fairly and counted accurately — is the bedrock of our Nation," he wrote.

"Without elections that are conducted fairly – and perceived to be fairly conducted – public confidence in our political institutions will swiftly erode."
