FRAUD ALERT! How Jill Stein Spent her “RECOUNT” Money

Jill Stein, the recount scam artist, took in a staggering $7.4 million in donations to stage RECOUNT stunts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Stein claimed she was only interested in ensuring election integrity – which is why she focused only on the “Blue Wall” states that collapsed on Hillary.

So how did Jill spend her funds?

Well, we can tell you that nearly $1 million was spent on staff expense, consulting fees, and “administrative” costs.

Of course…..Paperclips are pricey these days.

What will Jill do with the leftover dough?

From CBS NEWS:

At latest count, Stein had raised $7.33 million for the recount in just 2.5 weeks, and from more than 161,000 donors. The campaign’s latest estimate of costs puts the total recount-related expenses at about $7.4 million — meaning as of now, there would not necessarily be money left over. However, the campaign noted that some costs, such as compliance costs and legal fees for ongoing litigation, could be reduced from their estimates today. In addition, Stein’s campaign expects to receive some of the filing fee back from Michigan, where a recount was started but not completed.

Included in that $7.4 million estimate is just under $4.5 million for state filing fees, $1.6 million for legal fees, $212,500 for staff salaries, $364,000 for consultants and $353,618 for administrative expenses.

Stein’s campaign is planning to reach out to each of its 161,000 donors and ask them to vote on which “non-partisan election reform and voting rights organizations” will receive the leftover money. The campaign did not immediately release a list of possible organizations, but said it will do so “in the coming weeks” when it begins surveying donors.

Under FEC law, money raised into a recount account can only be used for recount-related expenses — and a campaign must reach out to donors to either refund their excess donations or ask them whether the funds can be used for another purpose. Based on Tuesday’s announcement, it sounds like Stein’s campaign is looking to go the route of repurposing the funds.

“Throughout this whole process – from before fundraising began until now – our campaign has been fully transparent about our intention to demand recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan – and the costs associated with doing so, even as those costs have changed as a result of states’ demands,” said David Cobb, Stein’s campaign manager.
