(14,756 posts)Say what you will about Stein and the Green Party, but I haven's seen any evidence of any scam other than the wild minds of grumpy Stein haters.
For one, all the money went into a separate account meant for the recount, not into the Green party coffers. And whatever left over money which was about 2 million, went to form a group called Count My Vote. Whose mandate is:

Stein said the refund will be spent on ongoing election integrity efforts like getting rid of voting machines and having automatic audits where optical scanners are used to count hand-marked paper ballots. In addition, Stein called for automatic recounts when there are close races or questions that raise red flags.
"We also want to include in this ensuring we have a right to vote and that we put an end to voter ID laws to this interstate cross check that has taken millions of voters potentially off rolls, also ranked choice voting," she said.
Sounds like money well spent to me.
Couldn't time be better spent than all this useless, unproductive Stein/Sarandon/Sanders hate?
