Green Party's Stein files for Wisconsin recount

Green Party's Stein files for Wisconsin recount | Fox News

Suppose the recount gives the win to Clinton......

Would Trump supporters then just say....oh....ok ?

Just yesterday we noted that Jill Stein was acting on behalf of Hillary Clinton to raise money for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. As we noted then, we continue to be astonished by the amount of money flowing into the fundraising campaign and would love to see which of Hillary's mega donors have spent the most on the effort...somehow we suspect this isn't just a "grassroots organizing" effort as Stein described it.

So, in less than 1 day, Jill Stein raised over $3mm, which is more than the $2mm needed to force a recount in Wisconsin. While she attributed the accomplishment to "the power of grassroots organizing," we would tend to be a little more skeptical and would love to see exactly where those donations came from. Then again, maybe we're wrong and there really are just that many disaffected snowflakes out there willing to blow their money on an extreme long shot.
But, today a new mystery has emerged in Stein's fundraising efforts. Apparently, the more money she raises the more expensive the recount effort becomes. Courtesy of the Wayback Machine we have the following snapshots from her fundraising page over the past couple of days:

Interesting times we are living
 
This is very unfortunate. It is a precedent that can taint every presidential election to come. Without some evidence of foul play, recounts, in my opinion, should not be allowed unless the count is sooo close...

What a shame.

I agree. Under Obama, more felons have been released from prison now than the last 11 presidents combined I hear.
The IRS was used as a tool against selected opposition groups.

New precedents can work both ways.....but in all cases results in a dilution of original intent and process imo....if not downright illegitimacy
