Trump campaign would have to pay nearly $8 million for Wisconsin recount

SNIP
President Donald Trump's campaign would have to pay nearly $8 million to start a recount in Wisconsin, a state he narrowly lost two weeks ago.

Trump will have to decide by Wednesday whether to carry through with the recount he has promised to pursue.

If his campaign pays the $7.9 million cost up front, the recount will begin as soon as Thursday and be complete by Dec. 1, according to the state Elections Commission.

To save money, Trump could narrow his request and seek a recount in just a handful of counties instead of all 72 of them. Trump campaign spokeswoman Anna Kelly did not immediately react to the state's cost estimates.

Hmm... good ROI for your campaign dollar here, with a campaign already in actual debt?? 20.5K Biden lead, with Wisconsin modifying a few votes this week from canvassing.

Of course, I would expect a full recount here to change nothing except a few hundred votes (at best), but will Trump go for it?? Just to keep hope alive? It's not like it's his personal money or anything...

If he goes for the selected county recount, what counties does he choose? Milwaukee and Dane??

Either way, make sure it's a wire transfer or the check clears before anything starts... Just sayin....

 

$7.9 mil to keep up this charade and delay the inevitable hit to his ego. Even Trump isn't that desperate and stupid, is he?

 

He's both, but this would be jacking it up to a new level... It's one thing to get the freebie from Georgia, but this is something else.

I expect (and hope) Wisconsin is building in a little profit margin here, since people might be counting through the T-giving period.

 

Every penny spent on pointless recounts is a penny not spent in Georgia senate races. I say they go for it! Have the RNC pay.

 

He is, but he’s also too cheap to spend his own money to prove his lies.

 

He doesn't have any "own money". His net worth is negative and his credit is maxed out. He doesn't even own his own ass.

 

If he won’t reach in his own pocket for this, anyone who gives him another cent out of theirs, is a damn fool.

 

Yup! FRAUD and CHEATING don't come cheap!

 

If it isn't his money - why not? If he has people willing to contribute to that effort, why wouldn't he? It's not as if he hasn't taken money from others for a scam before...

 

Does he even have any cash? It sounds like he's cash poor from all the talk about him having hundreds of millions coming due soon are accurate. And, wasn't there some mumblings about money going missing from the inauguration funds?

 

A recount is fraud and cheating? Lol

 

no, fraud and cheating is the reason for a recount....sad attempt at twisting my words, please try harder..you can do better than this

 

Maybe not. But that won't keep him from asking his "faithful" for donations. Which he will need, to pay his criminal defense team when he's out of office.

 

Except there's still no evidence, nor would a recount satisfy those who are faking claims of fraud and cheating. They already think the ballots are frauds, so recounting those same ballots isn't going to help.

Imaginary monsters are the reason for a recount.

 

Both campaigns have been fundraising since the election for "legal funds"... this would qualify....

Since the Trump lawsuits have been such a joke and dismissed so quickly, I'm not sure where the extra Biden funds will go at the end...

 

Of course you will say that. That is what your liberal overlords have coached you to think and say

far too many irregularities to straight up ignore them:


A curious thing happened as Fulton County, Ga., election officials counted mail-in ballots at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena in the days after the election. In the early hours of Nov. 5, a surge of some 20,000 mail-in votes suddenly appeared for Joe Biden, while approximately 1,000 votes for President Trump mysteriously disappeared from his own totals in the critical swing state, where Biden holds a razor-thin lead.

A poll watcher noticed the suspicious shift in votes while monitoring the interim election results on the Georgia secretary of state website.

“I concluded from looking at these results that this was an irregularity, since there was no obvious reason for President Trump’s totals to have decreased while former Vice President Biden’s totals increased dramatically,” Voter GA co-founder Garland Favorito swore in an affidavit he filed this week with the secretary of state’s office.

Favorito suspects a variety of factors, including that votes were "artificially inflated” for Biden while using the same Dominion Voting system used by Antrim County, Mich., which erroneously transferred 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden. Last year, Georgia contracted with Dominion to automate vote tabulations in all 159 of its counties.

“The software appears to have thrown votes from Trump to Biden here too,” he said in a RealClearInvestigations interview. “Or Biden ballots were manufactured."

The large disparity of gains between the two candidates "was something I had never witnessed before in my years of election monitoring,” said Favorito, a career IT professional who has been a leading advocate for election integrity in the state over the past two decades. He says he is not a Republican or Trump supporter.

I understand. My post was specifically addressing @Surfer Joe's post about him being too cheap to pay for his own lawsuits.

 

I base my opinions on evidence, not baseless "conservative" (not that Trump and his supporters are really all that conservative) conspiracy theories on Twitter. The only people pretending to be surprised that there were more mail-in ballots for Biden than Trump (aka supposed "irregularities") are people who are lying about being surprised and those who have paid to the past few months at all. The supposed software "issues" have likewise been debunked or were easily caught and corrected during canvassing and haven't actually impacted the count.

 

So if he trump won’t pay we can assume he knows there is none of either.

 

Of course georgia review is free, he'd have to pay for Penn as well. Unless he won. No faith. I believe the Penn cutoff date has already passed.



Damn spell check

 

Wait . . . spell check is messing up for you? That means . . . gasp . . . irregularities! There's definitely a conspiracy here. Definitely.

 

Your lack of any evidence is also noted.

Will Trump blow $7 million on this?

I’m sure it depends on whether Wisconsin is smart enough to demand the money up front.

 

Trump’s lawyers resigned and the rest of the cause slinked away to sulk.

 

But the noise machine is busy trying to injunct more Trumpster porn into the cycle. They’ve recycled this software meme almost to death.

Trump and the GOP committed to both trying to discredit mail in or absentee ballots, and forcing people to vote in person in the middle of a pandemic.

They didn’t factor in how much people would resent being forced to vote in person. That was the GOP strategy in the Wisconsin primary. They were trying to save a state Supreme Court seat (they lost). In doing this, they earned the resentment of much of the nation.

What happened next was predictable. Millions decided to vote by mail or absentee ballot. And millions of them decided to direct their ire at the GOP.

 

I read it’s definitely due up front
