BTW what the local papers and comments are saying (in Wisconsin not Huffington)
Given the vote margin, should the taxpayers being paying for the state Supreme court recount?

Suggest removal The law should be changed that you can ask for the recount within that margin, but if you lose your paying for it.
There is no real resaon for this recount and the Klop. team wouldnt have bothered if their own money was at risk.

Suggest removal It's funny, the people that are for the recount are the same ones that thought it was okay for the 14 to run away to Illinois rather than do their jobs. And for the protestors to use fake doctor excuses.

Suggest removal it is allowable under the law, so why should she not have the right to a recount?

Suggest removal This question makes it sound like this is money out of our pockets. I think most of the "cost" is the salary of people who will be doing the recount, but who would be getting that salary anyway. We taxpayers have already paid for their services. Perhaps a better question would be, do we want them to do the recount or some other whatever-it-might-be thing they would do instead? I mean no disrespect whatsoever for those people and their important and honorable jobs.

Suggest removal No count with that big of a margin has ever been reversed in Wisconsin or any other state. This may be within the law but doesn't mean you need to abuse the taxpayers for it.
