They love BIG expensive non-streamlined inefficient government - until they have to pay for it from the consumer side of the table.

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.

Her expert estimation was .05 mil and the state said 3.5 mil

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 can’t 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.

See if she’s recently purchased any property in non extradition countries.

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


Pledges on a web site are a far cry from actual payments. Anyone can make a pledge and then not follow through.

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.

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.
