In reply to the discussion: Jill Stein needs more recount donations to overcome Wisconsins malicious price hike [View all]Madam45for2923
(7,178 posts)16. $6,894,504.75 RAISED
Here are the estimated filing fees and deadlines for each state:
Wisconsin: $3.5 million by Nov 25 (ADJUSTED Nov 28 to $3.5 million)
Pennsylvania: $500,000 by Nov 28
Michigan: $975,000 by Nov 30
Those are estimated filing fees alone. The costs associated with recounts are a function of state law, which can often be difficult to untangle. 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. The total cost is likely to be $9-10 million.

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
