2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Jill Stein needs more recount donations to overcome Wisconsins malicious price hike [View all]
Jill Stein was initially told by Wisconsin officials that the recount would cost approximately $1.1 million. But after the state tried and largely failed to sabotage her in court to prevent a hand recount from happening, its now trying a new approach: charging an insane amount of money for each of the counties that have agreed to do hand recounts. According to Wisconsins official election website, at the time this article is being written, Stein is now on the hook for $3,898,340 instead of the mere $1.1 million she was told.
Stein has already received more than $6.8 million in donations, so she has enough cash on hand to pay Wisconsins sudden ransom. But to do, shell have to tap into the funds that she had initially raised to pay for the Michigan and Pennsylvania recount fees, as well as the attorney fees which will be required to fight those two states to force the recounts. In other words, because shes now being sabotaged by the Republican officials running Wisconsin, she legitimately needs more money than has been raised up to this point. Steins donation page is still active, for those who believe in the recount cause and are in a position to donate.

OP
It wasn't a rate hike. They forgot to add in the graft, kickbacks and skimming to party bosses.

WI does not want to do the hand recount. So they keep saying a higher and higher cost for it

I did, Stein is only paying fraction of what the taxpayers of Michigan are stuck paying.

No, she needs to pay the actual cost in Michigan instead of sticking it to the taxpayers

She should appeal to the court that this amounts to a shakedown and the state must pay for
