The above article say's otherwise.

"Stein had raised millions of dollars, but with so much of that having been eaten up already by Wisconsin’s sudden price hike and the attorney fees required to fight fierce court battles against all three non-cooperating states, it turns out she didn’t have the $1 million cash on hand today to cover Pennsylvania’s sudden ransom demand. Thus she was forced to withdraw her court petition for a Pennsylvania recount. That doesn’t mean it’s over, of course, only that there is now another legal hurdle to fight."

"she didn’t have the $1 million cash on hand today to cover Pennsylvania’s sudden ransom demand"

Hmm, someones wrong here. Was the money due Monday night as other sources are claiming?
