[Future Useless Eater]

To Wisconsin Election Commision members:
        Please bring up this subject as soon as possible in your next commission meeting.

Under Federal law, 3 U.S.C. § 5, (the safe harbor provision)
The Wisconsin WEC does not have the authority (post-election) to change Wisconsin law regarding the validity of petitions requesting a recount.

Specifically, Wisconsin mandates that for a recount petition to be valid, it must have included payment of the estimated recount-cost at the time of the petition. The deadline for petitions was Friday 11/25. Ms. Stein did not pay even one dollar toward the estimated recount-cost at the time of her petition, therefore her petition is not valid, and the WEC does not have authority to bend or change election law after the election.

In case you didn’t get the ping...

[9YearLurker]

Do you have a link with evidence that she didn’t pay?

Thanks!

[WildHighlander57]

Sounds like $ raking by Jill Stein.

[Robert DeLong]

While you may be correct, we will see if that argument is ever broached.

[timestax]

Why isn’t the Corrupt News Network asking to see her evidence?

YES, Why ?

Are we sure no payment was submitted at the time of the filing? From the WI recount manual:

When a filing fee is required, the cost of the recount should be estimated by the clerk and pre-paid by the petitioner in cash or in another form of payment acceptable to the filing officer at the time of filing. Wis. Stat. § 9.01(1)(ag)3.

“We have assembled an internal team to direct the recount, we have been in close consultation with our county clerk partners, and have arranged for legal representation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice,” Haas said. “We plan to hold a teleconference meeting for county clerks next week and anticipate the recount will begin late in the week after the Stein campaign has paid the recount fee, which we are still calculating.”

Have you sent this to Team trump and the WI GOP? LS you have contacts within Trumps inner circle. Maybe you can pass this along so they can recount thrown out in WI Court due to WEC changing recount rules after the election in violation of federal law.

Check out # 81.

Thanks, WildHighlander57.

Law is pretty clear.

(ad)Upon receiving a petition for a recount, the clerk or body receiving the petition shall reasonably estimate any fee due under par. (ag) 2. The clerk or body shall provide the petitioner promptly with the total due or estimate.

(ag) 3. All fees estimated under par. (ad) shall be prepaid in cash or another form of payment which is acceptable to the officer to whom they are paid. No petition for which a fee is required is valid unless the proper calculated or estimated fee is paid at the time of filing.

No where can I find where Stein paid any fee.
