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.

I thought it was reported she had received more than $6 million by last week, but now she says she doesn’t even have $3 million.

If a few days, after the recount(s) is done, the democrats will be very disappointed again. And republicans will be laughing their butts off at the stupidity of the democrats, especially at those billionaire supporters of the recount, and at Hillary and the DNC. Losing the voter counts, twice within a month, should be very devastating to liberals, and they’ll have to think up new tricks to get Trump out of the White House. We’ll have to be on the lookout for the radical left, because, losing is not something that they take to very easily or kindly, and they’re capable of anything.

How is she getting away with what looks like wide-open fraud?

Seems to me this recount gimmick is a money-maker for the state. So, I’d change the fees next year and make it $10-million minimum. Every state ought to go this way.

Stein achieved rock-bottom last place and thinks she’s somebody. Her “supporters” are useful idiots.

So the solution is that when Trump takes office - as he will - he contacts Netanyahu and gets him to issue an arrest warrant under Israeli law for the War Criminal known as Soros.

After all, Mossad kidnapped Eichmann.

He is handed over to Israeli authorities where he goes on trial in front of the families he stole from and aided in sending to the Holocaust.

Hey, they do this to irrelvant camp guards. Why not somebody who actually matters?

If Soros can be a Sonderkommando and end up the richest guy on the planet, what justice is there?

I’m thinking this moron is going to have a visit by the DOJ/IRS eventually. And like many other liberals in jail, she’ll realize her last name is NOT....CLINTON.

Only the Clinton’s have this strange immunity to prison (though Bill had his law license revoked)

Her final total campaign $$ was only $3.5 million.
In just over a week she raised $4.8 million????
Her campaign was 16 months long and she only raised $3.5, suddenly the cash is flowing in.

Follow the money.

She needs to run a two hour infomercial at 3:00 a.m. on all the local access channels if she wants to tap into the real money.

Operators standing by....

On the other hand, we all owe Jill Stein a vote of thanks. She peeled thousands of votes away from Hillary. I think it was Hannity who was saying last night that if even a 16th of those who voted for Stein in Wisconsin had voted for Hillary, Hillary would have taken the state. And if a quarter of those who voted for Stein in Pennsylvania had voted for Hillary, she’d have taken that state, too. Jill Stein is the Ralph Nader of 2016.

I don't think there will be a recount simply because Jill WON'T be paying. Funny how she boasted of receiving almost $7 million but now says she can't pay the $3.5 million bill unless she receives $2.4 million by the deadline today.

Pennsylvania has flat out said; NO RECOUNT.

The only thing that triggers a recount in Pennsylvania is a .5% margin of victory/defeat. Trump had 1.7%.

Even in the .5% margin of victory that has triggered 27 recounts only 3 were changed.

They’re not going to drag Pennsylvania through the mud and Michigan certified their election results as final.

This is game over and now she’s just fleecing the gullible left.
