to file in Wisconsin tomorrow (the deadline.) If this is done, I will donate to this cause.

I deleted my post on the Boston Globe story so there was no confusion about the goal being met.

they indicated that ALL of that sum was going to pay for fully funding the 1st state -- not for the filing fees for all three states.

It seemed like classic bait and switch to me.

And then they reached 4.5 and now they say they have enough for 2 states -- and need another 2.5

...in the appropriate offices and on time, and the recounts begun.

I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up too far, but if Stein can pull this off she will get nothing but thanks from me. The fact that so much money has flowed in so fast tells me a LOT of Americans are extremely upset by the results of this rigged election. I'm just praying that Stein plays it straight with us.

She's just not going to do that

4 years from now UMC white liberals will still want a purity badge, and they have nowhere to go but Green for that.

The Jill Stein hate here is ridiculous and blinds DU

We need Election Integrity & she's the only one fighting for it.

I don't like her politics but I do like that she is doing this & if it wins her some votes next time the numbers will be so small as to not matter.

If this election has not proved that our electoral process is screwed up I don't know what will.

she's talking about now is one required for filing a lawsuit -- IOW, a judge could just say no.

It is insane that so many Democrats are giving money to her.

...well, technically, they are more honestly Left than ours since they aren't paid to lose on congressional legislature to republicans (Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and a handful of other real progressives excluded of course). So it just makes total sense why we are comfortable donating to them. There is a trust.

And that being said i just donated another $100.

You're welcome

The Green Party is one of the factors that contributed to a Trump victory, and I cannot feel sympathy for Stein now that she has buyer's remorse after helping to get Trump elected.

If Hillary asks for a recount, that's one thing, and it likely will prove futile. But Stein shouldn't even have standing (from a non-legal perspective) to challenge the results because she lost by any measure and no recount will change that.

She should go away.

be no deeper check of the mail in votes or any checks by computer security experts of machines for malware.

Not enough to change anything but enough to give Trump the bragging rights to say, "There was a recount and I still won!"

I think the shady stuff was top flight malware on a couple of machines, especially floridas machines AND mail-in vote system was gamed somehow in many smallish chunks across Americas thousands of counties.

indirectly, how he rigged the election?

He's dumb enough to answer. If the question is subtle.

There'll be a recent. The same machines will be tallied. Broadly speaking the same numbers will be found. This will NOT involve an inquiry into the coding of the machines, nor will any statistical anomalies in results be grounds for a further investigation. All this does is reinforce the fact that Trump won.

If by some miracle it gets the results overturned, great. The problem is that the ways in which we know the GOP stole the election (voter suppression) and the actions some suspect handed Trump the election (Russian hackers) won't be detected by a recount. I'm just saying don't get too excited over this. I know people are desperate, but y'all are just setting yourselves up for some big disappointment.

I sure hope this leads to something good.
