Jill Goddamn Stein Files For Recount in Pennsylvania, Has Raised $6.3 Million to Date
PoliticsJill Stein—Green Party presidential candidate, low-key election spoiler, and the unlikely person making this month very interesting—has filed for a recount in Pennsylvania. In a fundraising effort she began on Thursday, Stein has raised over $6 million to fund recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, although whether the recounts will actually, you know, do anything is an open question.
Stein formally filed for a recount on Monday in Pennsylvania, after doing so in Wisconsin on Friday, just under the deadline. While several election lawyers and computer scientists have suggested that those three states were particularly vulnerable to hacking or vote-tampering, journalists who monitored the election disagree.
