\"ImageBefore you donate to Green Party candidate Jill Stein<\/strong>\u2018s effort to demand a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, you may want to read the fine print on her website<\/a>. So far, she has raised $4.8 million, but take a look at this little clause at the end of donation form:<\/p>\n

We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting. We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.<\/p>\n

If we raise more than what\u2019s needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And interestingly, as more donations started pouring in over the holiday, Stein moved her total fundraising goal to $7 million. She originally had a goal of $2.5 million.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0She also upped the amount she will need for lawyer\u2019s fees.<\/p>\n
