What Happened to Jill Stein's Recount Millions?
The Green Party candidate last filed a form with the FEC since September 2017. And it looks likely that there won’t be a vote on how to use the unspent recount funds.

Shortly after the 2016 election, Jill Stein raised more than $7 million from shell-shocked liberals eager to pursue a swing-state recount. Two years later, the U.S. Green Party’s last candidate for president is still spending that money.
Ongoing litigation, travel costs, and staff salaries are also likely to eat up whatever is left, meaning those who donated to Stein are unlikely to receive a once-promised chance to vote on how the post-recount money would be spent. Nor have donors been given much of a window into how Stein is actually spending their donations.
The last FEC filing from the Stein campaign was for the month of September 2017. And the last update from the campaign itself came in a post on April 20, in which it said it was down to $932,178 in recount funds.
“It is strange that they would just stop filing reports given they were a legitimate, professional campaign, and despite still having more than a million dollars in cash on hand,” Andrew Mayersohn, a researcher at the Center for Responsive Politics, told The Daily Beast.

16. Perhaps since Stein easily outsmarted her loyal followers, she was led
to believe she could hoodwink the rest of us.
Ain't happening. EXPOSED!
Is happening. ALREADY HAPPENED!

7. How much came from DUers?
I hope a lot came from DUpipo but they are notorious cheapskates so they probably didn't give a whole hell of a lot to the effort even though they talked about doing it.

8. How many houses does she have?
I hope she has more houses than the old sour assed sour puss from Vermont.

11. A fool and their money are easily parted.
And with all the fools on the left, 7 million dollars can pile up pretty quick.
