Interestingly , if you read their explanation , they say they are not doing this to benefit Hillary , but to advance the cause of more reliable voting . It ' s unclear whether this will actually achieve much toward that goal , but it is a legitimate issue . If you follow news about electronic voting , it is scary how some of the systems are not really built to be immune to hacking . Of course , I ' m sure that individually many of the donors are doing it to benefit Hillary or to stop Trump . It ' s a long shot , but if it ' s worth the money to them , that ' s up to them . On a side note , it ' s scary that our system requires that much money for a candidate to ask for a recount . <| sep |> hahah thank you for a down to earth response .
