To me it looks like that since she is that far behind then she has to pony up everything , because it is less reason to contest than if Clinton did it . If the difference between the votes cast for the leadingcandidate and those cast for the petitioner or the differencebetween the affirmative and negative votes cast upon anyreferendum question is more than 2 % if more than 1 , 000 votes are cast prior to issuance of any amended return unders . 6 . 221 6 b , the petitioner shall pay a fee equal to theactual cost of performing the recount in each ward for whichthe petition requests a recount , or in each municipality forwhich the petition request a recount where no wards exist . If Clinton was doing it it would either be free or $ 5 for each area .
