Stein’s HOAX Recount Could Cost Michigan Taxpayers 12 Million Dollars
The Michigan Republican Party claim Jill Stein’s Michigan recount could cost taxpayers up to $12 million dollars.
As you can imagine, taxpayers are furious.
From Detroit News:
Michigan Republican Party leaders warned Tuesday a massive and costly statewide recount of the presidential election could drag on for weeks and cost the state its final say in who occupies the White House next year.
The final cost will depend on how many recount staff need to be hired, how much conference room space is rented and how long the recount lasts, Woodhams said.
Officials in Wisconsin rejected Stein’s request for a total recount by hand, so that cost estimate is basely on largely recounting 2.9 million ballots using machines. Stein wants a total recount of Michigan’s votes by hand, Brewer said.
Eric Doster, chief counsel for the Republican Party said he doubts the cost of the recount could be as low as $2 million, noting it usually costs $10 million and $12 million to conduct a statewide election.
“That number just seems to be remarkably low, particularly when you look at what it costs to run a statewide election,” Doster said.
Stein’s lawyer continued to defend the cost of a recount as a necessary part of the electoral process.
“The right to vote is priceless, and we need to make sure that every vote gets counted — and that’s what this is about,” Brewer said.
Ronna Romney McDaniel, chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party, said Tuesday that lawmakers may need to revisit the fees losing candidates are charged for conducting statewide recounts.
“I am concerned about the costs to the taxpayer, specifically with a candidate who got 1.07 percent (of the vote) being able to put forward a recount that will be so cumbersome for our state and potentially put our electors at risk,” McDaniel said.

You can’t make this stuff up.
Count Stein’s votes. It shouldn’t cost too much or take too long. {snort}
What a scammer. Send her back to jail. (Stein was in jail for vandalism while running for President)
How many things are done more accurately by a person than a machine when it comes to repetitive tasks? If as a country we have deep concerns about accuracy of counting our elections, maybe stein should put the money toward making better machines for the future, instead of hassling people that most likely did their job pretty well the first time.
Stein is a fraud.
