Kamala Harris 2024 Presidential Election Recount

In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, where President-elect Donald Trump secured a decisive electoral victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, there are growing calls for a recount of the votes. A petition on Change.org, initiated by Anthony Ferguson, has garnered significant attention and support, with over 8,000 signers as of the latest update.

The petition alleges that the election was rigged, citing discrepancies between online sentiment and actual vote counts. It also references past allegations of electoral irregularities, particularly in Philadelphia, and expresses concern over the impact of the election outcome on various demographic groups, including women and non-white individuals.

Despite these claims, official election data and analyses suggest that the outcome was influenced by several factors, including lower voter turnout and a shift in voting patterns in key swing states. According to investigative reports, Trump won with fewer votes than he received in the 2020 election, largely due to Harris receiving significantly fewer votes than Biden did in the previous election.

The electoral map showed Trump capturing crucial swing states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which were previously won by President Joe Biden in 2020. Exit polls and voting data indicate that Trump performed well among certain demographic groups, including white voters, voters without a college degree, and in rural areas.

While the petition and its supporters are adamant about the need for a recount, the electoral victory of Donald Trump has been projected based on electoral votes and is supported by ongoing vote counting that shows Trump leading in the popular vote as well.
