Associated Press via McClatchy DC ^ | November 29, 2016

MADISON, WIS. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says she's committed to pay for a vote recount in Wisconsin even though she calls the estimated $3.5 million cost "exorbitant."

Stein says the estimate Monday from Wisconsin election officials means she'll be asking her supporters to raise another $2.4 million. In a statement Tuesday, Stein says it's an "undue burden" but won't stop efforts for recounts in that state and in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

“Thought I read somewhere a lot of the folks involved are volunteer, anyone know if that’s true? Cant seem to find anything about it, but I’d have to imagine they’re paid government staff...?”

I have no idea about that but the other evening on Twitter I saw a bunch of people posting about signing up to help with the recount.

They were signing up with names like Vladimir Putin and Fidel Castro.

Actually, it seems like Fidel volunteered to recount and to vote late, too.

;-)

Look at it this way, she can now return to being a Doctor, a celebrity doctor, like Dr. Oz.Rake in the appointments for a year or more, run the patient histories through a smart computer, and let the computer prescribe the proper pharmaceuticals.Or else tell every patient, like the notorious Dr. Stuart Berger did, that they have one specific disease, like Candida.Make it simple for yourself, just like your politics.

Perhaps it is just a scam to crash the credit and loan institutions.

Hey, not to open old wounds but...they did hand Jesus over to the Pharisees.

Now’s the chance to atone...

1. If the costs are ‘exhorbitant’ they why perform a recount for a last place finisher?

2. If the costs are ‘exhorbitant’ then perhaps she should examine why government labor costs so much.

If she has already raised close to $7 million, then why does she need to raise another $2.4 million.

Also if no re-counting begins until the money is in the states hands...

Jill the Shill could have hit a brick wall. I hope those dumb suckers...er...donors...demand refunds. That will be delicious.

I think those who have “donated” via their credit cards better keep a sharp eye out on the billing statements to make sure it didn’t exceed their original donation amount.

If that happens it will be icing on the cake!

As someone else pointed out:

Hillary won California by 3,232,735.

Nationwide she leads by 2,235,663.

So California carried the day in the popular vote.

So if California popular vote is not included, Trump leads in the other 49 states by 997,072.

California really needs to be examined, since they are so skewed when compared to the other states.

The question arises as to how many illegal aliens, and legal aliens (non-citizens) followed Obama’s call to vote, not only nationwide, but especially in California.

“So the 4th place finisher, over 1.35 million votes behind the leader wants a recount?”


Media distraction? This way the media is not forced to broadcast America being made great again?

I don’t think she actually raised $7M; I think she has $7M in PLEDGES. Not the same thing.

There will be no recount in PA. She missed the deadline of November 21. Stein must show prima facie evidence of fraud to contest the election in PA. She is trying to have a “contested election” in PA. The problem is that she has no evidence of fraud.

My faith in the electoral system won’t be restored until Darrell Castle wins this recount.

4:30 (Wisconsin time) is the deadline to pay for the recount.

Any news as to whether she’s actually handed over the money for the recount yet?
