Unlimited contributions for recount funds

Bob Bauer reports here that two requests to the FEC for advisory opinions on fundraising for recount funds have been withdrawn. “The only law on the question is now found in section 100.85 of the Commission regulations. That section allows for candidates to raise unlimited individual and PAC funds to pay the costs of recounts and contests.” UPDATE: Trevor Potter and Bob Bauer are hashing this out here (scroll near the bottom). Bob also notes that the correct regulation number is 100.91.
