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.

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

I went into her fundraising website and entered a fake name to see what it took to “donate”. It does require a credit card, no pledges. But I do think the counter is just a scam, I have been watching it and it shoots up every 30 seconds or and it is hardly likely that so many people are sending in credit card amounts that often.

You want to appeal a negative judgment, greenie, you pay a transcriber, copying fees, an I.D.I.O.T. form, TPS cover sheet, etc.
This is a reason the rest of us demand verifiable voting while you folks want it loosey-goosey.

They should put a stop to this nonsense, it’s nothing but a bunch of crap, serious waste of time and money, utterly ridiculous the whole thing

So if she says she needs $2.4 million today, that means at most she had only raised $1.1 million up until this point, correct? I think she has been lying all along about how much money she has really raised.

And the $3.5 million is only what the State of Wisconsin will be charging her, it doesn’t include filing fees, attorney and consultant fees, etc.—make sense? I would be surprised if there were any scumbag lawyers and “consultants” working pro bono.

NOBODY who's stupid sucker enough to pony up for this doomed effort has ANY latitude anymore to EVER utter a single crosswise syllable about ANY church, nor ANY evangelist ANYWHERE passin' the plate.

Even the worst radio or television shysters ever were at least trading a gospel-related message to the people they fleeced. The packaging was poor, the the underlying material was still chock-a-block with Truth for those with ears to ear. This Stein wench is given her cabal of sycophantic drones NOTHING of ANY redeeming value whatsoever.

If she’d just think of it as paying her fair share of taxes, everything would be copacetic, right?

If there’s anyone out there who really gives a damn about the Demons or the Greens’, they will convince this nutjob to stop....Despite what the Media says, America (yes, even the wackos) have accepted Trump as having won the Presidency...to try and change at this point is MADNESS and it’s making them look even more unhinged.

Stein, your consumption of oxygen is exorbitant. Cut it by two-thirds.

Is it me or does it look like Soros already has one foot in? If so, maybe he can put the other one in sooner rather than later.

Thought I read somewhere a lot of the folks involved are volunteer, anyone know if that’s true? Cant seem to find anything about it, but I’d have to imagine they’re paid government staff...?

Just checked at 2:59 - total donated $6.476 Million. The site picked up about $8 K in hour. Doesn’t look like she’ll make the $2 MM extra she wanted. Hopefully this will end today !!
