the public find out? If they were confident that the results were fair, they wouldn't care, because the recount would only validate them.

not a lawsuit. They're claiming illegal collusion between the Stein and Clinton campaigns.

3.5 million for now...if it costs more, she has to pay the difference, if it costs less, the difference will be refunded to her campaign.

I'm not seeing the greed angle, since it's not like the GOP would get the money, but then again, I have a head cold, so the Nyquil may be making me slow to see the obvious.

When Senate and Assembly in session I watch daily. You guys would not believe what a sham our state has become. Bill. Pass. Bill. Pass. Our DEMs cannot do a damn thing. Even with all Walker's corruption, they crush the John Doe investigations 1 and 2 and then demand evidence is destroyed. And local media, protects him. Want to know why he failed on the national stage after 71 days...because he was out there unprotected. It is so sickening how all our shitty WI guys are now on Trump's mancrush team. Walker, Clarke, Priebus, Ryan, Duffy, etal......each one more batshit crazy and UNqualified than the next. They were not gonna let this go unchallenged.
