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.

    This is completely normal. In almost every election far more people vote for “nobody” than for either candidate. So the percentage of people who support any president is always super low. The support for these politicians is very small but the hegemonic narrative completely obscures this.

      This is not completely normal anywhere but in the US. The US has atrocious voter turnout, for a wide number of reasons, most of them intentional.
