Here are the filing fees and deadlines for each state:
Wisconsin: $1.1 million by Nov 25
Pennsylvania: $.5 million by Nov 28
Michigan: $.6 million by Nov 30
I would think she has lawyers and a team looking at this? Are you sure they got the PA deadline wrong that would be an epic fail lol

oh shit I did not hit refresh
Jill Stein is one of the most craven people I can think of. The fact that the Green's endorsed her to run twice is a pox on their house.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
Seems that this will likely get funded to the point of allowing at least two states. I will not be surprised if over the next 2 days there is more than enough to do all three states plus cover any additional legal fees.
The difference is that Tulsi is doing what she thinks is right. Jill Stein is a cancer on the left.

eh if she is the only one pushing for a recount who cares?
If she pockets the money and no recounts take place comeback and laugh your ass off is what I would say
She is the best one to push this recount DEMS really can't afford more negative press

That or someone is putting her up to it
For reference, 2000 before recount was Bush plus 1700 and moved to Bush plus 538. But that had tobs of variables that this does not.

Wow, I saw this early, sighed, and left. Looks like this might actually have enough steam to succeed?
Even then, I can't say I have any expectations for anything to come of it. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they did find that it was "rigged" in some way, in part because Trump seems to constantly project and his whole "Clinton/dems/liberals are rigging it against us" spiel could be yet another case of him projecting. But if they do recount they probably won't find anything. Oh, how I'd love to be wrong though.

I did. You pointed out her siphoning votes. I pointed out that the situation is more complicated than that, and that your point is moot.

At this point, I'm thinking that Jill Stein is a Russian agent who is trying to create instability in the American political system, or she's just a moron.
Orrrr it's the Year of the Jackpot, and the sun will go nova soon, which honestly, you know, it would suck, but it might not even be the worst thing that could happen anytime soon.

All that's gonna happen is the numbers are gonna come out about the same. It's a waste of time and money.

She said Clinton was "scarier", I believe it was her campaign manager/weed dealer who was hoping for Trump to win.

At this point, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to discover that Russia had:
1) Supported Trump
2) Flooded voting machines with false votes in order to get Trump a win
3) Paid Stein to push for a recount that reveals the false votes and loses Trump his win
4) Encourage Republicans to impeach Clinton over EMAILS
5) Revel in the political instability
I suspect more REpublicans voted for Hillary than Dems who voted for Trump. The polling indicated it would trend that way but the polls were so off on this we can only rely on exit polls if they measured this.
No at least not recount close. This recount is being based on a conspiracy that Russians hacked the voting computers, which has been shot down by multiple pundits.

Not enough for a recount to matter. If there is any straw to grasp at its voter suppression and a recount does fuck all to fix that.
It actually was close In 2 of them from what I remember. I didn't pay attention to Pennsylvania.

...but like a few white folks I know who said the same thing before the election, they quickly woke up after the election and realized that no, Trump and the animals in the GOP were really much, much scarier.
Me neither. Honestly, we (and by we, I mean Americans) hate each other so much that Russia can pretty much do what she wants without the worry of us unifying against her.
I mean, the antipathy that I have for Trump voters and people who vote GOP in general runs the deepest that it's ever run in my life to the point that I've thought a lot of things about them that I never would have thought before. I can only imagine that a lot of people feel like me about each other right now.

Could someone explain to me how giving money to Jill Stein's kickstarter fundraiser leads to recounts?
Like.. there's no way election officials just recount if someone give them enough money, right?

Those are not in-context direct quotes.
People get into the presidential cabinet by giving enough money.
Wrong, they will do a recount if someone with standing pays for one.
Nothing, it remains status-quo.

Holy shit, this might actually work!
Well the direct, in context quote is that Clinton's foreign policy positions are scarier than Trump's.
Which, lol.

More importantly, more people show up to vote for a recount than to actually vote.
Maybe, in the future, make voting great again?
