Jill Stein announces plans for leftover recount money
CBS News ^ | December 13, 2016 | Emily Schultheis

With her three-state recount effort effectively over, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Tuesday announced her plans for what’s next: to ask donors which organizations should receive the campaign’s leftover money

At latest count, Stein had raised $7.33 million for the recount in just 2.5 weeks, and from more than 161,000 donors. The campaign’s latest estimate of costs puts the total recount-related expenses at about $7.4 million -- meaning as of now, there would not necessarily be money left over.

I fervently hope that when all is said and done, Jill is on the hook for a huge bill.

Maybe she should give it to the 20 faithless electors (19 of which are Democrat).

LOL!

Even if this recount effort was actually an attempt to turn over the elections, which I doubt, the fact their best case scenario was to delegitimize Trump was a complete failure...

The only thing they accomplished was to show democrat voter fraud was rampant in Michigan...

In my book money well spent...

Raised $7.33M total cost of recounts $7.4M. Imagine that. Surely there’s no bootlegging going on thru one of her vendors or legal team.

Oh very nice vacation home selection for Jill. Had I known it would come with a shore-side lake house, I might have contested the election myself. Every vote counts!

Gee, why not send it to the Clinton Foundation, where 99 percent of all money donated is used to help feed the poor, lift women and children out of poverty and help the homeless? /sarc

Maybe Ajamu Baraka will pick Obama as his running mate for 2020 for a Baraka Obama ticket.

Nope, Bernie held out for a lot less. His vacation home was a half million, a shack compared to this place.
