6. It did say that from the beginning though

I'm a skeptic of the recount idea in general, because to me, it smacks of desperation, and is a waste of time and money, but in fairness to Stein, her site said from the beginning that she couldn't guarantee that recounts would happen, only that she would "demand" them.

And yes, she has upped her goal considerably from when she started, where it was $2.5 million for filing fees and another million for attorneys' fees, but I also attribute that to putting up the initial fundraising site quickly, and then getting better numbers on additional costs.

If she files for a Wisconsin recount today, then she will have done all that she promised she would do with regards to Wisconsin.
