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.

Must be tough being a lefty and constantly smashing your persona to strawberry Jell-O against the inconceivable sanity possessed by the rest of the world.

Wisconsin could STOP HER COLD right now if they Followed the US Constitution:

Article 1, section 10

“No State SHALL make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

FORCE HER TO PAY IN LEGAL TENDER!!!

Wow? Why doesn’t she ask for a New Hampshire recount? The final tally was much closer and tampering could have changed that state easily. It will be cheaper, too.

Oh, I forgot, the Commies won that state. s/

LOL.

I want an immediate recount in California. To defray the enormous expense, please send donations to the P.O. box listed on my profile.

Thanks for your support!

I personally don’t think she has raised more than 500K on her webpage.

Her page is programmed to go up a certain amount so look like she is getting a ton of donations, liberals are lemmings, they will always follow the heard, if the perception is that everyone is donating to Stein, so will they.

She has nothing and is just trying to squeeze as much cash out of grieving liberals

You might be on to something there.

That might be an explanation for the identical donations showing up at regular intervals that had previously been explained as a "bot."

Jill is going to have a bigger lake house than Bernie.

Who says running for president doesn’t pay off?

I believe donors are anonymous and there are no limits. What a scam....we call it money laundering.

Here are the Wisconsin results:

Trump 1,409,467

Clinton 1,382,210

Johnson 106,442

Stein 30,980

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

In a sane world, a candidate garnering 1% of the vote wouldn’t be allowed to demand a recount at any price.

If you add the cost of the recounts against what she’s raised already, there is a tidy “profit”. She is a complete grifter! I’d check overseas real estate to see if she’s been searching for a place in a non-extraditing country. LOL!

Once again, be careful what you ask for.

You may get it. And sooner or later, the bill comes due.

That the bill came upfront, makes this exercise in futility all the more the point of ridicule.

Wisconsin’s Secretary of State, Douglas La Follette, did Jill Stein no favors in agreeing to the recount on the “possibility” that fraud “may” exist. There was no conclusive evidence up front that there was EVER anything like a major widespread fraud.

Also, the margin of votes by which Herself lost to The Donald was LESS than the number of votes which Jill Stein garnered, and Jill Stein herself may have contributed to the Democrat loss of Wisconsin.
