Summary

Donations to Kamala Harris’ campaign are now partially directed to a “Recount Account,” raising speculation about a possible recount effort despite her recent concession to Donald Trump, who won with 312 Electoral College votes.

Although recounts in close states could be requested, Harris’ campaign has emphasized funding efforts to support close Senate and House races still undecided.

The campaign’s website urges donations to help “see the election across the finish line” for Democrats in Congress, while Republicans have already secured a Senate majority and the House remains in contention.

    Nah. The missing votes compared to 2020 that everyone is harking on about wouldn’t have changed the election results thanks to the electoral college. Harris would have won pop vote, but Trump still would have won the election. Nevermind the fact that you can’t know all those missing votes would have been for Harris.

    Stop looking for someone else to blame when the only culprits responsible for Trump winning are the ones that voted for him.

      Trump got virtually the same number of votes that he did in 2020. Harris got 10+ million less votes than Biden did in 2020.

      And the losses were across the board, hitting safe blue states along with battleground states. It was so bad that states like New Jersey and California almost looked competitive.

      Republicans came out for Trump. Democrats stayed home for Harris. The math proves it.

        I’m not refuting that Harris got fewer votes overall across the country, but the turnout in the key swing states was actually overall better for Harris in 2024 than it was for Biden in 2020. You wanna talk about “the math proves it” then you need to look at the swing states.

      Nah, how about not making flimsy excuses for apathy and it’s consequences.

      If you didn’t vote for Harris, you are complicit in whatever Trump’s administration does the next 4 years, and we’re not going to let you hide from your culpability. Regardless of whatever BS you come up with to justify your decision after the fact.

        You’re hurting them with facts.

        No excuse to not vote. They stfu during the election, they most certainly should stfu now and for the next four years.
