Just yesterday we noted that Jill Stein was acting on behalf of Hillary Clinton to raise money for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. As we noted then, we continue to be astonished by the amount of money flowing into the fundraising campaign and would love to see which of Hillary's mega donors have spent the most on the effort...somehow we suspect this isn't just a "grassroots organizing" effort as Stein described it.
So, in less than 1 day, Jill Stein raised over $3mm, which is more than the $2mm needed to force a recount in Wisconsin. While she attributed the accomplishment to "the power of grassroots organizing," we would tend to be a little more skeptical and would love to see exactly where those donations came from. Then again, maybe we're wrong and there really are just that many disaffected snowflakes out there willing to blow their money on an extreme long shot.
But, today a new mystery has emerged in Stein's fundraising efforts. Apparently, the more money she raises the more expensive the recount effort becomes. Courtesy of the Wayback Machine we have the following snapshots from her fundraising page over the past couple of days:
November 24, 2016 at 3:46AM - In the beginning, Stein figured she needed a total of $2.5mm to fund her recount efforts. That figure included $2.2mm for the actual filing fees and presumably another $0.3mm for legal fees and other costs.
November 24, 2016 at 1:20PM - Then, just 12 hours later, after the cash just kept flowing in, Stein figured she needed at least another $2mm as her fundraising goal was raised to $4.5mm in total. Of course, the filing fees of $2.2mm didn't change but the "attorney's fees" apparently surged by about 300% and the total costs of the effort skyrocketed to $6-7mm.
November 25, 2016 at 6:11AM - Now, just this morning as Stein approaches $5mm in total donations, her overall fundraising goal has surged once again and now stands at $7mm.
So, with nearly $5mm raised so far, the question is no longer whether recounts will occur in WI, MI and PA but just how much Jill Stein will be able to drain from the pockets of disaffected Hillary supporters to fund her long-shot efforts.
All that said, here is Jill Stein admitting to CNN that she has absolutely no evidence of election hacking....even though she asks that you please keep sending your money anyway.

And another where she says she would have challenged the election result even if Hillary won...though somehow we suspect she wouldn't have been able to raise quite so much money under that scenario.

And finally we leave you with this latest epic rant from PJW on the whole situation:

None of these states have a way for the vote to be hacked, or even any connection between the ballots and the internet.
Won’t work. You don’t need 270, you need a majority of the counted EVs.
He's 86 years, 3 months, and 10 days old.
Thanks! I’m still trying to figure out what they are up to and how they think they can change anything. It more and more sounds like a scam by Stein to me. I can’t see three states flipping unless they find thousands of ‘new’ paper ballots.
Hahahaha..I love it!
I can’t wait until he’s gone...but his sons are just as bad..
Since there’s no way Stein can win, does she have legal standing to ask for a recount? Maybe a lawsuit should be filed asking for an injunction against a recount on that basis.

The Stein recount does two things.
1) Stein gets a lot of money.
2) Everyone’s attention is diverted from the Hillary emails and the Podesta emails.
All of this nonesense, once it fails..and it will fail.... only serves to make President-elect Donald Trump stronger and appear unstoppable.
Soros, and family, need an all-expense-paid trip to Russia. Putin and company would like to see him.
I read that any candidate who pays can request a recount in WI. Does anyone know if MI or PA have requirements to request a recount? Seems so silly in Stein’s case.
This is what got them into trouble in Florida in 2000. I suspect the legal challenge to this idiotic process will force these states to certify their votes long before they can ever complete a recount.
Wisconsin uses both.
I believe MI requires a challenger to demonstrate that they have a chance of winning the election in the case of a recount.
If true that should stop Ms 1%. I pray it does. Let Hitlery do her own dirty work and let Stein go to hell to await Soros and the Clintons.
Kerry didn't win that one, either.
Agreed, however, the plan is to cast doubt on the election results and cause a constitutional crisis. If they can allege vote tampering in 3 states, they can allege all states were “hacked”. They will attempt to delay the electoral college and the inauguration. They will demand a nation wde referendum on the EC or a national “do over” just like they are recommending in the UK. They are going to use every dirty trick in the book.
Think about what they are doing with Brexit. The globalist are trying everything to obfuscate the will of the people. The same thing is going to happen here. There is too much at stake for the elites.
It’s impossible. The machines are not hooked in to anything connective (like the internet or a network) and in the case of Michigan are all-paper ballots that have been certified already.
There can be no hack.
