I think that's a fair point.
Jill Stein's lawyers can make a case, I'm not going to speculate and will leave it to the judiciary if their case has merit.
What is you beef with Jill Stein paying for a recount?
We should have confidence in our elections.
Trump afterall, has said that millions of illegals are voting.
If that is true than it would appear you willing to protect that?
Because it's a ploy. A recount won't settle any questions about illegals voting, it will just confirm, or not, the vote totals.
To determine illegals voting or, using a classic, a dead guy voting is an audit. Those take months cross referencing master voter rolls with the polling place records of who voted. Or didn't vote.
i'm not sure why anybody particularly cares about the recount? Jill Stein is paying for it to be done so it's not costing tax payers anything.
It's not going to reverse the result.
If anything it might just exonerate the ballot counting process.
Is that not a win?
That is where you are wrong. In Michigan Stein's share is $800,000 while the Michigan taxpayers share is estimated at $4.3M. Stein is trying to get out of paying anything for Pennsylvania, part of her federal case to to not even pay the $1M bond, will not cover the cost anyway. So no, she is NOT paying for it.

I would have less objection if she were paying for it all but STEIN IS NOT PAYING FOR ALL OF IT! She intends to stick the taxpayers of Michigan and Pennsylvania for the bulk of it, if not all of it.

Yep. This is a one-sided, partisan ploy based on a "hunch" that the Russians may have hacked our election process. What's mind-boggling is that some courts are entertaining this even though there is zero supporting evidence to supposed the "fraud."
A ploy for what purpose?
I think it is readily agreed that a recount will not result in overturning the election.
Two fold.
To further delegitimize Trump's win, yeah I know it's only the Electoral College, by casting doubt on the vote. What some people complained Trump was doing.
To delay certification of those results until after the Constitutional deadline, throwing the election into the House of Representatives. Which is an extremely poor strategy and tactic.
No way the House elects Clinton and they can't pick anyone else like some individuals think they can.
