Wisconsin Elections Commission Releases Presidential Election Recount Cost Estimate of $3.5 million
Wisconsin Elections Commision Website ^ | 11/28/16 | Wisconsin Elections Commission

, one or both of the candidates will have to pay $3,499,689 to the Commission by 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, said Commission Administrator Michael Haas. Both recount petitioners have been advised of the cost estimate.

At a meeting earlier today, the Commission directed staff to assess the full estimated recount fee to both petitioning candidates unless the candidates each submit payment for one-half of the total estimated cost.

“County Clerks have done their best to estimate the actual costs of conducting a large recount in a relatively short time,” said Haas. “The estimates may vary widely as some clerks may not have been able to precisely identify their estimated costs in the short time available to them. If the estimate turns out to be too high, the campaign will receive a refund. If the estimate is too low, they will have to pay the additional cost.”

Wisconsin’s 72 County Clerks expect to hire thousands of temporary workers to assist the county boards of canvassers in recounting the ballots. They also expect to be working extra hours and weekends to finish the recount by 8 p.m. Monday, December 12, the deadline established by the Commission today. The Commission will certify results by 3 p.m. Tuesday, December 13.

Don’t laugh just yet. Soros will pay up would be my guess - the evil prick.

before the recount starts, Trump wins...

Even before the recount began, Trump’s unofficial lead of 22,177 was due to grow by 440 votes, as officials moved to correct a reporting error in Oneida County. Trump’s vote in the Town of Hazelhurst had been recorded as 44 instead of 484. (Clinton’s vote total was 330 in the same town).

They claim to care about the poor but all they really care about is power.

Think they'll show with the money? I say NO.

The entire thing is nothing more than a $7,000,000.00 money laundering scheme.

Oops. Is this in addition to the $1.1 filing fee which was due last Friday?

Add lawyer fees on top and looks like what Stein has so far will barely cover WI, let along MI and PA which are even more populated states.

I think so. Which means WI is up to $4.6 million, not including lawyers. Perhaps they should have simply enjoyed friends and family first.

The other candidate is DeLa Fuente. But since he has recently moved to Cuba, I wouldn’t count on him.
