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.

    Trump won with the support of just 75 million votes in a country with 335 million citizens.

    In other words, just 22 percent of the US citizens decided to drive the country off a cliff,

    Wrong.

    He won 75 million active votes plus 10-15 million people who opted to stay home, knowing it was a de-facto vote for Trump.

    They are just as guilty as the Trump voters.

      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.
