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.

Is she gonna claim election interference and that it was stolen cos people got real mad when trump did that.

I just sent this to Biden & Harris via the White House contact page https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/. I share in case you would like to add your voice and may find it helpful to have a pre-existing template to use or edit. Please feel free to share with others as you see fit. Peace, Atelopus-zeteki

Template: I would like to add my voice in the call for a recount of the 2024 presidential election. I would also like to ask that you conduct a full investigation into tampering, interference, and fraud for this election.

· 32 bomb threats were called into democratic leaning polling places in swing states, causing them to be closed for extended periods of time on Election Day.

· At least one bomb threat was called into a vote counting center.

· Polling locations were closed while voters were still in line to vote.

· Multiple Ballot drop boxes were set on fire, in democratic leaning areas, losing thousands of ballots.

· Many voters reported not receiving mail in ballots, while districts apparently had not sent thousands of them.

· Hundreds of people in swing states are reporting that their votes have not been counted or even have never been received, though they were dropped off/mailed on time

· Some voters also reported instances of their outgoing mail not being picked up after placing their ballot in their mailbox.

· Voters also reported having their ballots invalidated for reasons such as invalid signatures, and given no chance to fix it.

We cannot allow election interference. Please order a recount as soon as possible.

The American people do not trust the results of this election. The people are concerned that there is outside interference – from foreign governments and from private corporations at least – in our election. We are concerned that this was not a free and fair election. We are concerned that we are being lied to and a dictator is trying to take over our government. I am begging you to do everything in your power to stop this from taking place. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.

Do you have any actual source for this? Some of it is just farcical on its face. Like the thousands of ballots in drop boxes. I saw articles for 3 drop boxes, amounting to around a hundred at most, spread over two states.

You’re also accusing staunchly Democratic election systems of sand bagging Harris over multiple states. The breadth of conspiracy that would take is mind boggling. It is literally unbelievable.

Also, contact your rep and senators about the 14th amendment.

Took me less than five minutes. I highly encourage everyone to do it.

https://www.senate.gov/senators/

The message doesn’t need to be long. Just mention the 14th amendment, section 3 and that they need to do their duty as Congress and not allow an insurrectionist (January 6th 2021) to hold office.

That should all definitely be investigated but I don’t think “recount” is the right word for a lot of it. Anything that was counted should be, but a lot just seems like outright interference where there’s nothing to recount because people weren’t able to vote. Was it enough to matter? No one can really know for sure.

Bomb threats are bad enough on there own. Even worse when it interferes with an election. The culprits need to be severely punished, though that may not stop people from doing it again if they feel it worked.

I don’t know what the solution is if there are quite a few people willing to do anything they can to interfere in an election. You can’t watch every postman, polling worker, polling station, etc. There’s just too many and not enough people. But then you get into a “who watches the watchmen” situation even if there were.

Feels like the problem is having a two party system and also only needing a majority to get things passed. If we had proper representation by multiple parties then cheating from any one party would hopefully be far less effective.
