I wonder if Stein and Hillary lovers realize Michigan did an unofficial final count from the Secretary of State and Trump still won by 10k. Plus Michigan only has paper ballots.
Stein seems to just want to get her name out there more

Well it worked. She has 2.393 million of the 2.5 million she asked for. I suspect it will hit 2.5 within the next 3 hours.
So the recount is on! And I like that. Because it will hopefully resolve the issue. Because leaving it unresolved was just going to leave doubt about our process.

Just because she raised enough money doesn't mean the recount is on. There's more to it than that.

I have seen no mention of any substantial barrier to doing this other then having the money before the expiration date when challenges could no longer occur. Have you seen something?

Pennsylvania: Automatic recount when vote margin is less than 0.5 percent. Voters can petition county boards for a recount. Voters or candidates can petition courts for a recount

Stein is suggesting that Hillary cheated and that she knows a recount isn't going to change the outcome of the election, she just wants the cheating exposed.
What makes you think a recount is necessary ? Do you have any evidence of tampering ? Or are you one of the angry sheep that just can't get over Trump winning ?
Read between the lines of what Stein has said. This isn't about Trump cheating.
Wisconsin Elections Committee already said they've spoken with Stein's people and are expecting the filing. I guess they could reject it, but that would set off a potential court battle.
As I said before, I doubt anything will come of it but I'll kick in a few bucks. It's like playing the lottery - hey, you never know. I think it's pretty impressive they've managed to raise over $2.5M in less than a day, and over Thanksgiving at that.
Theres some pretty concerning evidence....however Nate Silver makes a convincing argument that its not. Thats part of the problem. *I* think Nate Silver provides good guidance on this and the reasons that the statistics look concerning, but aren't. The issue is that they DO look concerning at all.
So I think a recount is necessary to validate our process and get beyond the concerns.
So, when Trump was saying it was a rigged system he was destroyed for saying so....hmmmmmm.....what tangled webs we weave.
I want a recount audit to see how many illegals,dead people and felons voted for Hillary.
