The Wisconsin Elections Commission announced that it has received the required payment from Jill Stein to start the presidential recount in the state later this week.
The former Green Party presidential candidate previously submitted a petition for a recount in Wisconsin, and she paid the required $3,499,689 set by the commission via bank wire transfer, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission announced that amount as the required fee to start the recount process, but in its announcement today it noted that "there was an error in adding up figures" from the state's 72 county clerks, so the actual total is $3,898,340. However, it is not requiring Stein to pay that new total "at this time." Instead, the elections commission said it will wait until the actual costs are reported and either bill Stein for any excess charges or return any unused funds.

You’ll notice my input on that thread, too.
What I found may contradict what was said in the “Gateway Pundit”:
I hope what was said above is the final word.
Yes, I know, but it’s not going to happen. They are not going to disenfranchise the entire electorate of a state (and overthrow a valid election) to satisfy the whims of a failed candidate who has zero chance of winning no matter how many times the votes are counted or how long the losing party drags out and delays the phony recount. That’s just flat our un-American and unconstitutional. The courts will get involved and will throw this subversive crap out.
She wants the money. Payment for doing this!
Election vote recount workers may be the jobs slick hilly ever creates.
It really doesn't look good if they can't simply add up numbers from 72 people.
Doesn't say much about the generic mathematical accuracy in the Elections Dept....:^)
Could you help me with just what can a DemocRAT, or anyone else, ask for under Freedom of Information Request, thus bypass[ing] the need to pay-up after services are rendered?
