perhaps this guy crossed over to support Harris also. Have just been pulling up some of these threads to read about the allegations but haven't found much new in way of facts.

I suppose a recount in even one state would be at enormous cost and probably spark a civil war so that is likely why Harris is lying low. It's too bad, though, because I don't have a problem believing they'd cheat. Donald had everything to lose, and Elon is stuck like glue to him now. They will get away with it of course.
