I just sent this to Biden & Harris via the White House contact page https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/. I share in case you would like to add your voice and may find it helpful to have a pre-existing template to use or edit. Please feel free to share with others as you see fit.
Best, Atelopus-zeteki
I would like to add my voice in the call for a recount of the 2024 presidential election. I would also like to ask that you conduct a full investigation into tampering, interference, and fraud for this election.
· 32 bomb threats were called into democratic leaning polling places in swing states, causing them to be closed for extended periods of time on Election Day.
· At least one bomb threat was called into a vote counting center.
· Polling locations were closed while voters were still in line to vote.
· Multiple Ballot drop boxes were set on fire, in democratic leaning areas, losing thousands of ballots.
· Many voters reported not receiving mail in ballots, while districts apparently had not sent thousands of them.
· Hundreds of people in swing states are reporting that their votes have not been counted or even have never been received, though they were dropped off/mailed on time
· Some voters also reported instances of their outgoing mail not being picked up after placing their ballot in their mailbox.
· Voters also reported having their ballots invalidated for reasons such as invalid signatures, and given no chance to fix it.
We cannot allow election interference. Please order a recount as soon as possible.
The American people do not trust the results of this election. The people are concerned that there is outside interference – from foreign governments and from private corporations at least – in our election. We are concerned that this was not a free and fair election. We are concerned that we are being lied to and a dictator is trying to take over our government. I am begging you to do everything in your power to stop this from taking place. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.
Vote by mail still exist. People just didn’t see improvements on their lives and felt like voting didn’t matter.
Well, consider the numbers in https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/18340229
It’s older so based on older numbers, but the estimates from there line up pretty well with the total sum as of right now.
Basically, if turnout was depressed, it was only in the deep blue (and maybe deep red) - where it didn’t matter. In the swing states, turnout was higher for both sides in 2024 than in 2020 - and that’s even before trying to account for the peculiarities of the 2020 vote.
Still exists, but the restrictions on using it were set aside for Covid, that drove participation up.
In some states, you didn’t even have to request a mail in ballot, they were just sent out, that didn’t happen in 2024 unless you were already in a vote by mail state.
