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.

“she calls the estimated $3.5 million cost “exorbitant.””

Doesn’t matter what she calls it...what does Soros call it?

If there was any consistency at all to Stein's supposed concern over proper vote tallies, NH would be the first state on her list as it would be the most likely state to flip in a recount. Less than 3,000 votes separated Trump from Clinton.

Of course, we all know the real reason why NH is not being challenged and why we are instead looking at WI, MI and PA.

“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.”

I think it would be more fun if we nabbed him and put him on a commercial flight to Moscow. Then just let matters take their natural course.

‘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.’

OMG. Sweet justice!

That would be incredible. From your keyboard to God’s ears. :)

Lol! She under guessed so she could pull this "additional" fundraiser off.

BMRK for later when we see she only spends a pittance of it on this whole charade.

My theory is it is only to get lemmings to “join the cause” and make it look legit that she is raising money

plus it gets her media exposure

I don’t think Soros is behind any of this, the man is evil, but he ain’t stupid

Billionaires don’t spend money just because they have it

Wow, I didn’t realize that. Those sort of numbers are actually a little scary to think about.

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.

Handling fees, I'm sure.

Dear Ms. Stein—just give it up. If you think Wisconsin is expensive, try doing it in Michigan and Pennsylvania, where the costs will likely be way north of US$10 million for each state. I don’t think even George Soros is willing to pony up that much money....

There was an additional $1.1 million filing fee, as I understand it. Add that to $3.5 million and you’re up to $4.6 million. On top of that, you have to pay your lawyers - I doubt all the lawyers are doing pro bono work for her. So that pretty much taps out what she’s raised so far just for WI.

She’ll need around $1 million more to meet the total filing fees in PA and MI. Since those states are much larger states, you could expect recount fees to be higher than those of WI. So she’s look at close to $20 million needed for the three states, if not more.

Her stupidity is starting to cost real money.
