Is Jill Stein pulling a Bait and Switch? Her original post implied that she needed
to raise $2.5 million to pay filing fees for the audits of all three states.

Now that she's raised that amount, she thanks her donors for funding the audit of the first state -- but she has raised the total amount she needs to $4.5 million.

If she raises that amount, will she be asking for even more?

2. She said the extra is for attorneys fees

A long time ago. I'd donate if I could as this is much needed and she came through in the clutch.

11. Fees ranging from 2-3 million dollars?

That's quite a range.

Has she not inquired as to the costs yet?

You just have to BELIEVE!!!!

Only $10.00 more and the beast is proclaimed President.

7. Here are the filing fees and deadlines for each state:

Wisconsin: $1.1 million by Nov 25
Pennsylvania: $0.5 million by Nov 28
Michigan: $0.6 million by Nov 30
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. The total cost is likely to be $6-7 million.

Likely to be? Has she not spoken to any lawyers yet? Which ones is she planning to use? That's quite a large spread for what the fees would be. Will she itemize how the money she receives was spent?

Shut up and pay!!

I'm sure she will because leftists are really open and transparent when it comes to stuff like that.

I feel sure that she's going to do a Whipple procedure on the Electoral College.
