Michigan Lawmakers Push Law to Force Jill Stein to Pay 100% for Her ‘Frivolous’ Recount
Michigan lawmakers are pushing legislation that will force future candidates who lose by more than 5% to pay 100% for frivolous recounts.
Stein will pay nearly $1 million for her Michigan recount leaving taxpayers to foot the the rest of the bill that is expected to be as much as $12 million.

The legislation reads:
(2) IF 1 CANDIDATE IS TO BE ELECTED TO THE OFFICE AND THE OFFICIAL CANVASS OF VOTES SHOWS THAT THE PERCENTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SEPARATING THE WINNING CANDIDATE AND THE PETITIONER IS MORE THAN 5.0% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES CAST IN THE RACE, THE PETITIONER SHALL DEPOSIT WITH THE CLERK 100% OF THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE RECOUNT FOR EACH PRECINCT REFERRED TO IN HIS OR HER PETITION. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBSECTION, THE WINNING CANDIDATE IN A PRIMARY FOR A NONPARTISAN OFFICE WHERE ONLY 1 CANDIDATE WILL BE ELECTED MEANS THE CANDIDATE NOMINATED WITH THE LESSER NUMBER OF VOTES.

Yeah, except that Stein isn't paying squat out of her pocket. Her
sycophants supporters are paying it.
Useful idiots exist in the Green Party as well. :whatever:
