You only had to read a little further on her fund raising page. I'll repeat it here - again:

"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."

If you know of another organized effort to question the votes in these three states that is realistically going to have the money to file in Wisconsin on Friday and the other two states next week then give us the link. I'll donate to that one also.

Total bait and switch. Initial post said 2.5M was the total inclusive cost of recount in all 3 Statistical Nov 2016 #27

Not true. Bavorskoami Nov 2016 #30

The page was updated after she hit 2.5M goal and the goal changed. Statistical Nov 2016 #32

No, not true. I read exactly what was marybourg Nov 2016 #56

I believe 2.5 was for the FILING fees only Liberty Belle Nov 2016 #51

She was clear from the beginning 2.5M was only to file in the three states Bavorskoami Nov 2016 #28

I suspect the goal here is to put the 46EV's into dispute. roamer65 Nov 2016 #29

How would that help? Republican Congress would pick the Republican candidate. Statistical Nov 2016 #33

Any Republican would be better than a mentally unfit Trump. And they'd pry Bannon out. KittyWampus Nov 2016 #47
