Cost of Michigan Recount

The total cost of the recount in the three states combined will be approximately $9.5 million, given the unexpected fee increase in Wisconsin from $1.1 to $3.5 million. The money will cover required payments to states, lawyers, volunteer recruitment and other technical assistance.
The filing fee for a recount in Michigan is $973,250.
The Stein campaign is currently recruiting volunteers to observe the hand recount that would take place in 19 sites where the votes were cast.

Volunteers can sign up and get more information on http://www.Jill2016.com/recountMI.
