Wisconsin receives nearly $3.5mn from Jill Stein for vote recount
"Wire transfer of $3,499,689 from @DrJillStein has arrived at Wisconsin Elections Commission," the commission tweeted Tuesday. Dr.
Jill Stein, who was the Green Party's presidential nominee, sued the
commission this week after it declined to do a hand recount, opting to
use machines instead. The lawsuit could put the validity of the recount
effort at risk, due to a December 12 deadline for any recounts. The
recount is scheduled to begin Thursday, and whether the lawsuit will
delay this remains to be seen. Stein raised millions of dollars from supporters to demand recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
