I've never voted Green Party and never will, but I just sent money to Jill Stein.

I would have preferred using PayPal rather than my Visa but I didn't see that option, unless I'm blind.
It never hurts to re-count the votes in a close election!!
The recount money raising effort is blowing me away. The money is coming in at about $2,000 a minute!!
As of 12:58 PST it's $4,024,143.69 RAISED! wowza.

"Here are the filing fees and deadlines for each state:

Wisconsin: $1.1 million by Nov 25
Pennsylvania: $0.5 million by Nov 28
Michigan: $0.6 million by Nov 30
Those are filing fees alone. The costs associated with recounts are a function of state law. Attorney's fees are likely to be another $2-3 million, then there are the costs of the statewide recount observers in all three states. The total cost is likely to be $6-7 million."
