Are Dems calling for a Presidential recount or not?

[BoRaGard]

If you do a quick search under "Harris" and "recount" over the last day, a horde of stories will pop up saying ACT Blue and others are now diverting donations into a possible recount fund.

What's up with that? Is it really going to happen? I will kick in if it is really really real - but I want to hear VP Kamala Harris say so.

For the record (since we know for a fact that the G.O.P. Felon has cheated at everything in life and business) I say GO.

2. That's correct. They're not going and recounting entire actual states.

It's strictly for close congressional races.

4. It got misconstrued because the emails requesting $ for Congress. recounts

6. Only as a fundraising gimmick

Recounts are state-level decisions and generally only occur if the results were within legislated margins.

None of the swing states are close enough - and she would have to flip a few of them for it to make a difference.

But some of the funding groups are now in debt and worried that funds will dry up as the party starts the circular firing squad. If they can get a few more bucks from you now by selling a false hope - apparently they're willing to try.

7. There is no state close enough where a recount would make a difference.

The margin-of-error for vote tabulation is a non-zero number, but it isn't going to turn up the votes to change anything.

They aren't free.
