Update on Stein's progress to disenfranchise three states worth of voters, or lack thereof.
Let's look at fundraising first (need moar monees):
Stein Recount Fundraising Goal Raised For Fourth Time
"Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has yet again raised the fundraising goal for an attempted vote recount in three battleground states and is currently seeking $9.5 million for the effort.
Stein, who first called for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan on Nov. 23,
initially sought $2.2 million for the effort. Once the goal was met, Stein increased the amount to $4.5 million. Shortly after, Stein said the total costs would hit $7 million. Stein has since upped the goal to $9.5 million."
Michigan:
Michigan AG Files Lawsuit Against Jill Stein's 'Frivilous' Recount Effort
"Michigan’s Republican attorney general filed a lawsuit on Friday to halt a vote recount attempt pursued in the state by Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein.
“Michigan voters rejected Stein’s candidacy by massive margins but her refusal to accept that state-verified result poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers and abuses the intent of Michigan law,” Bill Schuette said in a statement,
Politico reported.
“We have asked the court to end the recount which Stein is pursuing in violation of Michigan laws that protect the integrity of our elections. It is inexcusable for Stein to put Michigan voters at risk of paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process,” he continued."
Pennsylvania:
Pennsylvania recount: Trump, state GOP file to stop Jill Stein's effort
"Attorneys representing the party, the Trump campaign and his electors in PA filed Thursday in Commonwealth Court to dismiss a lawsuit brought by lawyers funded by Jill Stein. She’s the Green Party presidential candidate on a crusade to have statewide recounts performed in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — all three swing states that were narrowly won by President-elect Trump. Earlier today,
the Michigan attorney general sued to stop Stein’s efforts there."

The PA GOP and the Trump campaign contend she hasn’t proven that and won’t prove that, writing in their most recent filing that “petitioners cannot meet these standards by merely alleging a belief that illegality may have occurred… petitioners have done nothing more than put forward a theory — a mere guess — about how illegality may have occurred.”" [/FONT]
