Jill Stein announces plans for leftover recount money
CBS News ^ | December 13, 2016 | Emily Schultheis

With her three-state recount effort effectively over, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Tuesday announced her plans for what’s next: to ask donors which organizations should receive the campaign’s leftover money

At latest count, Stein had raised $7.33 million for the recount in just 2.5 weeks, and from more than 161,000 donors. The campaign’s latest estimate of costs puts the total recount-related expenses at about $7.4 million -- meaning as of now, there would not necessarily be money left over.

Wow, how does one get into the "recount" business?

Sounds quite lucrative: $7.3 million in just over a month. Better than cattle futures.

Green Party Circus came to town and proved the old adage; there is a sucker born every minute.

She spent a lot of cash on these recounts and Hillary and her supporters were disappointed by the results but at least Donald Trump appreciates the extra votes that were found for him.

“Every vote counts!”.....

In Jill’s case, “Every Dollar Counts”

One thing I’m well pleased about is that Wisconsin got the money upfront before the any re-count began.

I didn’t do a good job of conveying my meaning..

I was alluding to maybe a portion of Jill’s donation $$$ possibly going to something besides recounts. A sweet-looking property on the water came to mind.

You know what? I, personally, am FINE with her spending the money however she wants. It serves the fools right for sending it to her.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to “hack” her vote and have donating it to “Trump for President” or the NRA win?

From the sounds of things, it just might be that the money was spent on recount fees and perhaps publicity to try to undermine DJTs victory. If it all ended up paying poll workers to recount votes, what great irony! Not only did those three states make the correct choice election day. The liberal lunatics just gave the poll workers in those states a nice Christmas bonus!

A NEW Beachhouse?

Another yacht?

Hiring more staffers to wipe and powder her butt?

A Private jet?

Investing in Trump company stock?

“Roads, bridges and infrastructure...”?

Or a great big payday for all involved in this “Recount” scam????

Maybe she should give it to the 20 faithless electors (19 of which are Democrat).

19 are Democrats and one is lying about it..............
