'Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has requested the recount. Under state law she's responsible for covering the cost. The state Elections Commission initially told her campaign that the process could cost about $3.5 million. She must pay the state that amount by 4:30 p.m. to trigger the recount.

But Commission officials now say they made a computation error when they compiled county clerks' individual cost estimates. They now believe the recount will cost $3.9 million.


Course, now should we even trust the count, much less the recount ?

Oops!

So she has to fork up extra? Does the recount move forward or is it on hold pending payment of the difference?

$4 million dollars. Wow, talk about being caught flat-footed.

Could be they're having some fun with Dr. Stein, knowing that she's not spending her own money.

I expect the recount to find more Trump vote, and maybe fewer Clinton and Stein votes.

Those Wisconsin folks can be crafty when they want to be!

In any event, she’s on the hook for the full recount cost, no matter WHAT the cost is, and I guarantee that the state will be collecting every single penny of it. I also imagine they’ll be seeking attorney’s fees as well for anything she decides to dispute...
