Presidential candidate Jill Stein found out in 2016 that challenging the election results can be an incredibly lucrative business.<\/p>\n

The Washington Free Beacon<\/em> reported<\/a> that the former Green Party nominee would receive a $2 million refund for her efforts to get a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin initially estimated that the effort would cost $3.5 million. A spokesman for the Wisconsin Elections Commission told the Washington Free Beacon on Tuesday that the final costs for 70 of the 72 counties in the state was $1.8 million. With the remaining two counties, the total costs could hit $2 million, the spokesman said. Stein would be reimbursed the remaining $1.5 million.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stein will also receive hundreds of thousands in reimbursements for the failed recount attempt in Michigan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stein paid in full for Michigan\u2019s 7,786 precincts at a rate of $125 per precinct, according to a spokesperson for Michigan\u2019s Department of State. Recounts were completed in 3,050 of the state\u2019s 7,786 precincts before being stopped by the courts. Stein will receive a refund for the remaining 4,736 precincts totaling $592,000.<\/em><\/p>\n
