BREAKING: Lawmakers Hit Stein With Horrible News… Move to Confiscate Recount War Chest
Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print



Americans from both major political parties have been outraged over former Green Party nominee Jill Stein’s attempts to launch recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — states that were key to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

In Michigan especially, where taxpayers would have had to fork over millions for the recount, some lawmakers were trying to pass legislation that would ensure that something like this never happens again — while leaving the door open for the possibility of legitimate recount efforts in the future, Detroit Free Press reported.

A bill that passed the Michigan House Elections Committee on Tuesday would make it so that candidates who lose the election by more than 5 percent would have to pay the entire cost of the recount.

This actually is quite reasonable. Now they probably won't be able to enforce it upon Stein since it's ex post facto, but if they want to play political games, they should pay for it.

I think the stunt pulled by Jill Stein may turn out to be a good thing.
