HERE IS JILL’S ARGUMENT IF IT GOES TO COURT —— she filed in a timely manner but the commission did not give her the estimate as required by Wisconsin law. Without that estimate, she could not pay. They admit in press release that they are still calculating the estimated fees.

Per a press release posted to the Commission’s website, the recount will start late next week after the appropriate personnel have been assembled and after Stein pays the recount fee. While no expectations were given for a completion date, the Commission noted that the federal deadline for all recounts is December 13th.
“The Commission is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States, as requested by these candidates,” Haas said.
“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.”

They can argue that but maybe that is all they should have, an argument. They should have found out how much it cost sooner, not right before the deadline I would think. If they have evidence of making an inquiry as to the cost and not getting an answer maybe.
