https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/recount


Just gave $50. . Please consider donating.
Our country needs us!!

[madamesilverspurs]

1. Palast is reporting this.

[cilla4progress]

3. Where?

It's odd to sit back and watch these stories percolate "up." As they reach the top echelons - NYT, WAPO, Palast, CNN, NBC, they start to gain credibility.

[kydo]

13. On twitter here is the info an link

Greg Palast
?@Greg_Palast

BREAKING: @DrJillStein & @GreenPartyUS to force re-count in MI, WI & PA. A tiny 50,000 vote shift will un-#Trump the Electoral College.

[cilla4progress]

15. Thanks!

[CountAllVotes]

107. Last hope

sadly.

Lets hope it HAPPENS!

[cilla4progress]

2. Me too!

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. I donated

It's at half a million already.

[femmocrat]

5. What is the money for?

Do they have to pay to start a recount?

[s-cubed]

8. If the numbers are not within a certain small margin,

which would trigger an automatic recount, a candidate can request one, but must pay for it.

[femmocrat]

9. Thank you.

This is very good news.

[redwitch]

18. filing fees, lawyers fees

I think...

[femmocrat]

19. I read on FB that some totals are being revised in WI and MI.

(Not that it makes it true!) Also, the voting totals have not yet been certified in some states.

There were math errors in WI and (supposedly) MI is within 10,000 votes now? Hope that would trigger an automatic recount.

I am a teensy bit encouraged by the news about Jill Stein and plan to donate! Even if it is a longshot, I think it is worth a try to prevent 4 years of hell.

[EL34x4]

146. Michigan county clerks submitted their certified vote tallies yesterday.

Trump wins by 10,704. No automatic recount. The state's Board of Canvassers will officially certify the results on Nov. 28.

This crusade is silly.

[Yurovsky]

266. I don't know if I'd label it ...

as "silly", I think there are some valid issues being raised, and they should be investigated. However, I doubt the current effort would do anything to alter the result and prevent Orange Julius from seizing power next month.

I think our blood, sweat, tears, and yes, money are better spent working to retake the Senate in 2018, if not the House as well, and sending Drumpf into retirement in 2020 with the election of a progressive President and a supportive Congress. We also have a great deal of work to do at the state & local level in those areas where we are currently out of power.

I don't see this effort as beneficial to the true tasks at hand. Furthermore, the voting shenanigans might best be uncovered by investigative journalists and friendly court venues, which would a;so provide sufficient time to bring these irregularities to light (a time-limited recount window will most likely prove fruitless). And if the media steps up and alerts the public to any uncovered violations of election law, you could see a progressive wave election the likes of which none of us has ever seen in this country.

[FarPoint]

152. I just don't trust her...

I won't donate unless I'm sure this is not another scam. We are vulnerable at the moment...

[apcalc]

157. Understand...

Have thought it might be, then again it might not be.

[Farmgirl1961]

6. Let's keep kicking this up

I have not yet donated. I plan to donate when I get home from work later today.

[doc03]

7. I think the money could be better spent to win the next election. It is

over we lost move on.

[shraby]

10. Move on my fat foot! Move on to what? The systematic dismanteling of everything we hold

dear? Bit yer tongue.

[doc03]

11. Do you really think at this point the election could be turned over,

there would be a civil war.

[shraby]

12. If the numbers don't add up, they can bite the bullet, and change horses mid-stream.

I don't feel sorry for haters.

[cilla4progress]

17. with

you

[Plucketeer]

67. Me too!

Gave earlier. Gonna cough up more next week.

[athena]

73. Time is running out!

The Wisconsin recount has to be requested by Friday.

[cannabis_flower]

149. They've funded Wisconsin already and are working on Michigan now!

[Liberal In Texas]

193. Really? A Civil War.

Bring it on.

Fuck them.

[athena]

33. No one will vote in the next election

if they are not reassured that their votes were properly counted this time.

The people have a right to know that the election was done honestly and that Trump's presidency was really the will of the people.

[apcalc]

91. The will of the PEOPLE?

The will of the people is Hillary...puhleeze..she's ahead by over 2 million votes and counting.

[Madam45for2923]

95. Think almost 2.5 million, or am I wrong to think that?

[Madam45for2923]

34. I spent a whole looooong year on this election to get Russia to decide our next President for me/us?

Don't think so!

[Cobalt Violet]

144. election integrity is important to this and the next election.

[mtnsnake]

22. The Ohio Green Party is also setting up a page to donate for the recount

I guess the maximum individual donation that Jill Stein's website can accept is $2700, but from what I understand, the maximum donation that the Ohio Green Party website can accept is $10,000.

26. Finally

something that seems to be working!

She has till Friday to raise $2.5 million, right?

Do Tom Steyer, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg and George Soros know about this?

How do we make sure they do?

[oldtime dfl_er]

51. Mark Cuban?

Maybe too pragmatic

[MontanaMama]

27. JUST DONATED!!!

That felt great!!

$825,754.66 raised!!! Screw you trumpsters!!!

[MontanaMama]

28. Refresh the donation page!

In 30 seconds there was another $10,000! Holy crap.

And, I was thinking that it makes sense that Jill would spear head this effort. If Hillary did it, all hell would break loose and the MSM would never cover it or if they did, it would be a poor donald story...

[bigmonkey]

29. Donated.

Do the Greens have standing in the three state? I assume so.

[womanofthehills]

30. Just Donated and put on my Facebook page

The money is coming in fast!!!!!!!!!

Donated!

[diane in sf]

37. donated and put this on FB in at least 4 different ways

[oldtime dfl_er]

53. wow

I donated, it was half a million. I took a nap for an hour. It's a million.

A few bucks tossed in, just to get peace of mind on this damn election, is completely worth it.

[triron]

52. knr

[Richard D]

54. Just . . . If there's no paper trail

How do they do a recount?

[forgotmylogin]

124. I voted on an electronic touch screen voting machine.

When I touched the option for Clinton/Kaine for President, the machine immediately printed "Dem Clinton/Kaine" on a tape like a grocery store receipt behind glass. Every choice I made was printed. I will guess had I changed my vote, it would have printed a "subtract" vote for that race then recorded the new choice. Essentially it was documenting every choice button I hit in order. They can go over these tapes to work out why the vote totals don't match.

[apcalc]

153. Maybe for you it was printed BUT

Where I vote in PA, my electronic tesults are not verified.

Welcome Hack City!

[Grown2Hate]

55. I want to donate, but feel weird donating to Jill Stein. What's her motive here? And how binding,

thorough, and quick will these recounts be if they get the money? So many questions... I guess if I can buy a lottery ticket, I can do this, right?

[MontanaMama]

57. This isn't about her!

She made the call...but this isn't about her. It's about Hillary. I'm thinking there's a lot behind the scenes that we don't know. Hillary could never ask for the recount.

[Grown2Hate]

59. I get that. I just don't see why she'd care if "Trump and Hillary are the same", ya know? I'll do

it, I'm just still skeptical. Hoping for SOMETHING though.

[radical noodle]

60. it says on the site

that she is interested in the integrity of our elections. They have apparently challenged in other years and proven there were problems. I'm not familiar with it at all, but I'm beginning to think this is worth a donation because even if the votes weren't tampered with, we sure know that there were illegal efforts to influence this election for Trump.

[KatyBR]

62. She's been told about the hacking and non paper ballot voting irregularies

Here is an article posted on Fortune magazine about it:

http://fortune.com/2016/11/23/jill-stein-vote-recount-election/

She has to pay because the margins are not small enough. More than $2 million is needed to meet filing fees, not including legal and processing fees, to facilitate recounts in the three states. Wisconsin alone requires $1 million to file for a recount, and its deadline is Friday, November 25. Pennsylvania’s deadline is Monday, and Michigan’s deadline is next Wednesday.

Here is her web page for it:
https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/recount

[womanofthehills]

[musicblind]

77. Serious question.

I'm thinking about donating. I don't have much money. I bring in about $700 a month.

If the recount doesn't happen, will we get the money back? If not, are we guaranteed that the money will go toward something else like fighting the appointment of liberal SCOTUS appointees?

[Madam45for2923]

79. I think if we get the money we are closer to the recount than w/o it!

Maybe don't donate so much if it's a hardship! Just $100 would be good.

[MontanaMama]

81. I don't know.

Please do not put yourself in a situation where your finances are jeopardized.

[Farmgirl1961]

98. musicblind

Why don't you wait and watch and see what happens. I didn't donate a huge amount and would be happy to donate in your name, or add an extra amount for you.

-Farmgirl1961

[musicblind]

105. That is so incredibly kind, but I would feel guilty taking money from you.

People like you are the good people, and your money can go to so many good causes out there rather than just donating in my name.

I'll do what you suggested, though. I'll wait until late Thursday night. If it looks like they are on the edge, I'll donate.

I'm one of those people the republicans consider an "entitled taker." I'm deaf (hence my screen name: musicblind), and suffer from several other ailments, and for that reason, I'm on disability. BUT, my financial situation reminds me, each day of my life, about the importance of government, helping other people, and doing all that you can for others, no matter my set backs. Our government has saved my life. I've had countless surgeries and have made it to age 34, and I know I'll have many more surgeries, but I'll also know that my government and people like you value my life and are there for me. Therefore, I must be there for them.

I sold some of my belongings during the general election in order to donate money to Hillary and I held a Halloween event with many of my friends to help raise money and register people to vote in NC.

So, just because I have only a small income, I always make sure to set some aside to help others.

Sorry for the long reply, I just wanted you to know that your offer surprised me and touched me. But, don't make it in my name, if you donate more, do it in your name. If it gets close, I'll find a way. I always do.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#009999]Whatever.

I will support anything that might prevent Trump from being President. Even donating to Jill Stein.[/font]

92. NBC NEWS IS COVERING STEIN RECOUNT -

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/green-party-candidate-calls-recount-key-swing-states-n687801

They also point to evidence Russian hackers infiltrated the Democratic National Committee and potentially a top adviser to Hillary Clinton's campaign as evidence of both ability and willingness. Hackers compromised voter records in Illinois and attempted to breach voting systems in a handful of other states prior to the election.

Here is Stein's Recount Site: https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/recount

[Farmgirl1961]

93. 1,406,233.95 raised!

She may very well hit $2 million by the end of tonight!

96. I wish

I wish Florida was included.

[triron]

99. evidently not possible

[liquid diamond]

102. I just read

that in another thread. Yet another reason to hate that fucking state. They gave us W twice and now trump.

[Madam45for2923]

109. Heard Florida would be very expensive to do a recount. Also the deadline is later.

So who knows!

115. I understood was not even possible unless

[jimlup]

126. I voted for Hillary and know that the Stein vote took

critical votes from Hillary. But I donated $11.... I want to know if there were anomalies on election night and this will help shed light on that question.

[KewlKat]

127. this 2.5 will cover only the filing fees. Further down on the site it says they will need

around 6 to 7 million total to cover lawyers and recount workers wages.

Maybe they will revise the goal?

2,002,000 right now.

[trueblue2007]

128. i donated a little. hubby will do it tomorrow.

132. 2,336,403.53 RAISED. DAYUM!

[cilla4progress]

133. She's basically got it!

What now??!!!!

[Grown2Hate]

134. Now we hope that they follow through and get an actual, thorough, credible,

binding recount that ensures our votes were counted accurately. I'm very interested to see what is uncovered here. I hope it's something more than just that Rump actually found a way to localize his support and win the Electoral College while getting SLAUGHTERED in the popular vote; I hope something is unearthed that throws the results into question. I'm on pins and needles (yet, not getting my hopes up).

[cilla4progress]

135. Me too

Just fuck him up if nothing more. Though I want more!

Looking at Palast's tweets from this morning she doesn't have a very threshold to exede Trump.

[musicblind]

136. Since a recount is not an audit...

Since a recount is not an audit, do you think they will know if the machines have been hacked or anything?

Will it be a hand recount?

[Grown2Hate]

141. I won't pretend to know the answer, but I would imagine there has to be SOME sort of

audit as part of the recount process, or, otherwise, that's the point? Her mission statement on the site seems to imply that she wants to check into the authenticity of the count overall (Election Integrity), so I would hope that part of the request/demand is for there to be an auditing system in place.

[tinrobot]

139. She got the filing fees so the recount can start

She may need more money for lawyers, etc, to avoid roadblocks thrown out by the GOP. It is going to be a fight.

So, don't stop donating!

[Farmgirl1961]

137. If you are from Wisconsin, Michigan or Pennsylvania

They'll be needing lots of volunteers for this effort. I live in Oregon...otherwise I'd sign up in a flash.

[cilla4progress]

138. Anyone else

Hitting refresh obsessively on Jill's site?

She's at $2.43 now!!

[musicblind]

140. Me too! I can't believe this is actually happening.

Stuff like this never actually happens!

[musicblind]

142. She did it! 2,500,860.65 raised!

Now I guess we wait for the recount to happen?

[Grey Lemercier]

145. that one state (Wisconsin) 2 more to go 2,600,642.50 RAISED GOAL: 4,500,000.00

[Grown2Hate]

143. DONE! They'll probably keep having to raise money for the lawyer fees, but I have a feeling

we've only seen the TIP of this iceberg. The money will POUR in if there's even a CHANCE at uncovering something nefarious. Again, not getting my HOPES up, but holding a small candle nonetheless...

[briv1016]

147. New goal 4.5M.

Apparently the prospect of having to sit through Thanksgiving dinner with your extended family is a VERY powerful fundraising motivator. I expect a second peak after 3pm during the meal and immediately after.

[Riverman100]

148. Do what you can

After i get paid tomorrow, I will check the bills that are due and contribute what I can. If everyone does SOMETHING, we just might make this happen! It doesn't have to be $1000 or $500 or $50 or $10. Do SOMETHING!

210. attorney fees and statewide recount observers

and any extra money possibly another state

[oberliner]

211. When she first posted her fundraiser, she said attorney fees were 1 million.

When she met her first goal, she bumped up the fees.

[flamingdem]

212. I believe that was per state nt

[oberliner]

213. It wasn't

Here's the original wording:

"Those are filing fees alone. The costs associated with recounts are a function of state law. Attorney's fees are likely to be another $1 million."

Here's after it was changed:

"Those are filing fees alone. The costs associated with recounts are a function of state law. Attorney's fees are likely to be another $2-3 million, then there are the costs of the statewide recount observers in all three states."

You will note that the wording is identical in the two versions except the amount of the attorney's fees changed and the additional text about observers was added.

"Updated. The Wisconsin Elections Commission has denied a request by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein to perform a recount of ballots by hand and she is prepared to go to court to challenge the decision, according to media reports. The recount will begin Thursday if payment for the process is received by Tuesday."

"Stein is going to need to go to court, and if the 2000 recount is a guide, she will need to raise a great deal of money, because most of the critical battles in the process will play out in court, not at tables in precincts around the state."

245. I'm a bit concerned we may not make the latest goal. Seems like donations have dropped

as the number is rising very slowly.

Anyone know how much time Jill has to raise the money? I know she will probably have more to pay WI and then there are legal fees. Don't suppose there is any way that the Clinton camp can help out if they had any funds remaining. I never heard if they still had campaign debt to retire.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

246. She's not hurting for money

She's taken in $6.7 million, minimum

She's paid out $3.5 million to Wisconsin, ~$1 million to Michigan, and probably no more than $150,000 to Pennsylvania. If she doesn't raise another dime, she's sitting on $2.1 million, and legal fees can't have been that much.

She padded the goal in the beginning, which gave her a little wiggle room when Wisconsin gave their $3.5 million estimate.

It's outlined on her site what she will do with it. Donate to election integrity groups like Black Box Voting and FairVote etc. FEC requirements are extrememly strict with what she can use this money toward.

Electoral Voters needed to flip!

?@AndreaChalupa
Here's a disturbing thread about the Wisconsin recount and a way we can still save it. #RecountWI #AuditTheVote

1. The difference in Wisconsin is currently about 22,000 votes, or 0.75%. #RecountWI

2.Optical scanning computers in WI, esp. ES&S DS-200, too often fail to count votes where voter intent could be discerned by hand #RecountWI

3. In Florida, due to voting machines, a shocking 1.67% of the people wearing an “I Voted” sticker actually didn't. #RecountWI

4. In Michigan, where the margin is only 11,000 votes, there are 75,000 not counted votes in Detroit alone. #RecountWI

5. Hand counts will identify and include legal votes missed by the machine; anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong.

6. Contrary to popular belief, recounting is faster by hand than to feed thousands of ballots through the machines one at a time. #RecountWI

7. 47 of 72 counties chose faster/more reliable method of hand recount.But 25 using same unreliable machines as on election night #RecountWI

8. This violates the Equal Protection Clause central to Bush v. Gore in 2000: similar ballots must be counted in the same way. #RecountWI

9. Hand counts are being used in predominantly white counties.Unreliable machines r used in counties w/large minority populations #RecountWI

10. We the People can help file a fed suit to force all WI counties to count by hand. We must ensure all votes are counted fairly #RecountWI

11. Please RT! Long list of severe issues in #RecountWI & efforts by Trump to block recount call for federal lawsuit
