Jill Stein got to keep over $4 million from the funds she scammed for her recounts.

108. Her original website request was for $2.5, which would have covered almost all of that.

And she knew when she made that original request that she only intended it to cover PA -- but that's not how she pitched it to the desperate people who sent her checks. It was only after she got that amount that she admitted it would only cover PA.

And she also didn't make clear that the PA recount, even in the extremely unlikely event the PA judge approved it, couldn't prove anything -- because votes on machines with no paper trails cannot be recounted.

If the election were hacked, a recount couldn't prove it. Most of Pennsylvania voters use DRE (direct record electronic) machines, with no paper ballot whatsoever. In other races where those machines have been probed — like Virginia's 2005 attorney general contest — the recount has consisted of the machine results simply being scanned again. The lost/spoiled votes Palast has talked about are not part of that system. (Meanwhile, nearly every Michigan vote has a paper record.)
