Wisconsin Increases Recount Filing Fee to Outrageous $3.5-million

Friends, I have an important message for you. We need your help to
stand up to the powerful forces trying to block our recount campaign for
citizen democracy. We received word yesterday that the final estimate
for the filing fee for the recount in Wisconsin is $3.5 million – an
outrageous cost increase from the initial estimate of $1.1 million that
was given to us by WI state elections officials based on the last
statewide recount. But thanks to over 130,000 small donors like you, we
have enough money in hand to pay this fee and move forward with the
recount!

But because of this exorbitant fee increase – bringing the total
money required for recounts in all three states to $9.5 million – we
need your help. We’re not there yet, and we need every last penny to
reach the $9.5 million benchmark. To support the recount efforts, go to www.Jill2016.com/recount and
donate today. And share this video on Facebook and Twitter – we can’t
let our voices be silenced by this obstruction to a citizen’s movement
for a transparent and accountable vote.  

Your immediate support is crucial – Please donate now and share widely.

I am telling myself that the extra money is going to paying the people doing the actual re-counting a fair wage, because otherwise I will cry. I may cry anyway.

Who wants to make my even more incredibly impossible birthday wish come true and help fund this recount by tomorrow evening? :’D
