Donations to the vice president's campaign on ActBlue are now being partially rerouted towards a vote recount effort.

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.

      Because she’s a Republican? Or another woman? Because they didn’t seem to have a problem with the several dozen prominent male Republicans who also endorsed her. They had no problems with a bunch of male Republicans who spent the past 9 years or so sucking off Trump. But Cheney, who sacrificed her position in the party and her entire political career to stand up to Trump while these guys all swallowed his dick, was a bridge too far to the point where they decided Trump was the better choice.

      Gee. I wonder what the difference is between Liz Cheney and every male republican who endorsed Harris. I just can’t seem to put my finger on it…

        This has nothing to do with her gender. In fact, I just said ‘a Cheney.’ Dick Cheney also supported Kamala and that made people want to vote for her even less than Liz did. The fact that Kamala’s positions are so far to the right that known war hawk Dick Cheney threw his support behind her is a BAD thing for a lot of left wing voters.

        We weren’t talking about people who voted for Trump instead of Kamala. We are talking about 15 million people who didn’t show up because there was no one running that supported their values.

          Cheney didn’t endorse Harris because of policy. It was more in line with orcs saying “even we can’t get behind this Sauron guy.” The fact you’re regurgitating that propaganda says you’ve fallen for it, or were a vector to spread it.
