Jill Stein: Billionaire Soros Has Nothing to Do With Recount
NewsMax ^ | 11/29/2016 | Sandy Fitzerald

Green Party candidate Jill Stein Tuesday flatly denied billionaire George Soros is behind her quest for ballot recounts, saying that even if he would happen to donate money toward the effort, it would be returned.

"Our donors will all be disclosed," Stein told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" co-host Martha McCallum. "All of the 140,000 of them last I checked. The average donation is $45. Wherever the voters are coming from, these are regular people throwing in small donations so that we can have a government that is about us everyday people. There is not some giant thunder here."

"Are you sure about that?" MacCallum responded, later asking if Stein was "confident" the millions that have been raised for the recount weren't boosted by money from Soros.

"Absolutely," Stein said. "Under campaign finance laws, we are limited to $2,700 to start with, and we have the numbers to show that 99.5 percent of the donors are all under $1,000 and the average donation is $45. So we'll be disclosing those numbers. They have to be public record."

And as for Soros, whether he made a donation of $45 or $2,700, "we would return it," said Stein.

Yeah, everybody has ‘bots contributing $180,000 an hour from untraceable prepaid debit cards 24/7. No big deal.

Yes, fake news.

Don’t tell me there are 140,000 suckers who were devastated by the reults who would not give $50 to overturn the results.

I’m not trying to claim it’s not Bot donations, but offer a different theory.

I honestly do not know how the collections website works, but, could it have some limit on how much it takes in, either in the form of money, or bits of information, or some other governing factor that would choke donations down to a certain level per hour?

Could anyone offer a optional theory that would hold water?

Voters deserve the assurance we can be confident in the vote. We are doing this to help voters restore their confidence in the vote.”

Jill, We were confident. You’re the one that’s undermining the confidence we have in the system.

She has no idea where the money is coming from or what the amounts are.

She just parrots numbers handed to her.

One suspects this is a LIE of Goebbelsian proportion.

Now over $2 million tax money will be wasted on Jill Stein circus, same amount could have fed homeless or kids in school or to fix Flint water system.
I am very sad. What a waste? heartless liberals.
