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.

They love BIG expensive non-streamlined inefficient government - until they have to pay for it from the consumer side of the table.
Yes. Yes they are that stupid.
Wisconsin should pay all the vote counters $15.00 an hour (Stein’s preferred minimum wage) rather than a daily stipend. That will up the cost of the recount to about $25 million.
He .05 million estimate may have been correct if she had requested the recount early in the process. The longer she delayed her request the more the cost went up because of the increased resources needed to meet the legal deadline for completion of the process. If nothing else, this should be a good object lesson for those who put things off to the last second.
“She cant turn that many tricks...”
Not to mention, I strongly suspect she doesn’t exactly draw top dollar either ...
Actually, TF, I have wondered if the Left, including Soros, is starting a new slush fund that is FINALLY no longer associated with the Clinton and their sticky fingers.
The Marxists have poured billions down the Clinton throats for decades and into rabbit holes and the Clintons long arm has had an undue reach that has netted the Left absolutely nothing and quite radically out.of.power.
They have to build a whole new warchest and Stein is the mule being used to start the ball rolling and keep their Balcanized minions at the bottom all stirred up and angry.
This has to be a version of Alinsky they are replaying, since the first version FAILED on every front.
Republicans have the White House, the HOUSE and the Senate, and 35 or so governorships, now. The Left needs money and they are totally out of power.
Delicious.
Umm, Jill? That’s for a machine recount, you’re in court demanding a hand recount - best make that $20 million you need today.
I heard on the radio this morning the the recount has beeb denied by state officials.
She’s got guts asking for this money...I just can’t believe there are so many idiots out there volunteering to be scammed by her.
Feed the lawyers. Please, feed the lawyers.
Pictures of two Jews who hate their own!
And ask for all communication she has had with the clinton team. But I won’t hold my breath waiting.
See if she’s recently purchased any property in non extradition countries.
Please tell me the DU has started a fund site for Jill.
Good Grief.
Russia has no interest in Soros nor anything credible to charge him with other then trying to destabilize Ukraine.
Which is not a chargeable offense, even under Russian Federation law.
But Israel has a real reason to prosecute him. That’s why he lives in the United States and undermines our government: to keep himself out of jail in multiple jurisdictions.
The “hooman rights” gig is a scam. He doesn’t care. He is just running a self protection racket.
I personally dont think she has raised more than 500K on her webpage.
I will be surprised if she actually comes up with the $3.5 million by 4:30 pm today. Supposedly if she doesn’t write a check she can post a bond. However,no financial institution in its right mind will post a $3.5 million dollar bond if there really isn’t $3.5 million in cash to back it.
No chance. The coming rising tide will lift Soros’ boat, too.
LOL! YUP!
I don’t think she even has pledges
I think it was all a scam to separate Hillary morons from their money
Won’t happen. They can’t change the rules post election - if she fails to make the $$$ deadline with payment in full, the recount/challenge is OVER and Trump will be official winner of WI.
If this judge were to give her an extension the judge would violating NOT only WI law, but ask Federal Law. Specifically violting the Safe Harbor Law for elections. A provision of this law forbids states from changing election laws/rules post election and if judge ruled for her extension request they would be changing the rules after the election.
