Stein calls Wisconsin recount cost 'exorbitant'(Asks for $2.4 Million MORE Today)
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.

Yes i have statistics that Stein is committing election fraud and trying to disrupt a valid election.

100% of the states she has filed for recounts in was one by the republican candidate. Very suspicious as several other states had closer win margins but all 100% of these races were won by the democrat candidate.

So theres my stats.

No recount has ever given 27,000 votes to the loser.

They think,they can disrupt the ec votes being certified by dec 12. That is why she wants a hand recount but is not gojng to get one.

Her hacker claim in wi is bogus. Our voting systems do not use the internet for any part of the voting or tallying. There is nothing for hackers to hack into.

In WI for a hand recount she has to prove it will result in a different outcome of the election. She cannot. So she will not get it.

The recount in wi will take a few days. They will compare ballot counts to tallied ballot numvers and look for,over/under issues. If they find some they will physically inspect ballots to see if any look unreadable or may have issues and hold,them,out. They will run the rest of the ballots through the machines and compare these numbers with the recorded numbers and see if the number of ballots held out for issues matches the over/under and if so, see if theyncan clearly determine the ballot issue. And then that will be over.

He is the official winner regardless of her lawsuit.

The whole point is to delay or deny the ec votes trump HAS WON from being ready in time to be counted nationally by the electoral college.

If she doesn’t pay up in full by 4:30 pm today the recount/election challenge is over. They can no longer delay certification or the WI electors from voting if she doesn’t pay up in the next 32 minutes.

The deadline for requesting recounts/challenging the election was last Friday 11/25 and a new challenge cannot be filed.

Jilly went to the Bernie Madoff school of con artistry. She’s identified the marks and gone in for the kill.

Technically she should have had to pay at the time of filing.

Even with credit card payments, it can take days (or longer) for the money to actually arrive in the recipient’s bank account.

Journal Times article from 5 minutes ago says the clerk's office hasn't gotten the funds yet. But they're getting ready to start counting anyway.

They’re prudent to prepare just in case the funds arrive on-time. Speaking of which: 0:17 to go. Tick-tock.

Yes she should have - they illegally changed the rules post election to accommodate her. Law states you must pay up front with petition. There was a FR thread about this also violating Federal Law (Safe Harbor Law). States can’t change election laws/rules post election!

Have you ever noticed that most hard core liberal men wear blue dress shirts?

It’s become a signature uniform for them.

Republicans need to file a lawsuit here against the dane county elections officials on these two very clear illegal actions.
