(4,544 posts)She is willing to file for recounts in all 3 states IF Americans donate enough money, but said she will take it on a state-by-state basis. If she gets enough money for one state, she will do that, if two states, she will do that, and if three states, she will do that. Her goal is election integrity, exposing the problems, NOT necessarily changing the outcome. That would seem to be a side effect from her point of view.
However, the fact is that she has already raised the money needed to file for a recount in Wisconsin. That *SHOULD* be filed sometime today (11/25). She has raised enough money to file for the recount in Pennsylvania. The deadline to file there is Monday (11/28). What's left is Michigan, with a filing deadline of 11/30. The fundraiser is ongoing for that purpose. My guess is that when she files for a recount in Wisconsin today, that will energize people and the rest of the money will be raised within a few hours, as it was on Wednesday for Wisconsin.
So, the chances of us succeeding in getting recounts in all 3 states are about as good as we can get with this, I think.
