That's according to a Milwaukee lawyer friend who worked on that recount.

The money came from one or more of his blockhead supporters. He wouldn't put up a dime of his own money.

before they began any recounts. They know Trump - and his campaign (which IMHO is just an extension of Trump, Inc) - doesn't pay anything he can get away with not paying.

That requirement is codified in state law. When Jill Stein requested a recount of the 2016 presidential election, Wisconsin forced her to pony up before they would start.

Wisconsin subsequently added a requirement that the requesting candidate must be losing by less than 1% of all the votes cast. If that law had been in place in 2016, Clinton would have been able to request a recount but not Stein.

I know my state's election rules fairly well, but can't say as much for the other 49 + DC!

All the court losses were piling up. At some point the money was gonna stop rolling in. So you spend a little, knowing it wont get anywhere in changing the outcome, but it will be enough to keep the suckers pouring the money in.
