$3,499,689 is not $3.5M. What’s that all about?
The actual estimate by the state of WI.
For the recount to go forward, 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.

Maybe she already submitted a deposit of $311 with the application.
It is $311 short.
