“Help with the Michigan recount,” one page urges. “Let us know if you want to get involved.”
The page features a sign-up form — but offers no other details, other than: “Someone from the team will be in touch.”
“Paid for by Hillary for America, a grassroots campaign of 3 million donors committed to electing Hillary Clinton (and keeping Donald Trump out of the White House),” reads the disclosure at the bottom of the page.
A lawyer for the Clinton campaign announced last week that they’d be joining Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s effort to get a recount of the close vote in Michigan.
Michigan state officials certified earlier this week that Trump won the state by a narrow 10,704-ballot margin, receiving 47.6 percent of the vote to Hillary Clinton’s 47.4 percent.
Stein received 51,463 ballots in Michigan, 1.1 percent of the vote cast there.
A similar page has been established for those wanting to help with the Wisconsin recount, where Trump claimed 47.2 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 46.44 percent, or by a margin of 22,177 votes. Stein received 1 percent, or 31,006 votes.
Jill Stein is trying to raise $9.5 million for the recount effort, but can she be trusted with the money?
