All the Harris campaign had to do to make sure this wasn’t a thing was simply ask for a recount. That’s it. They had the money. I understand that it might have looked bad as if she was a sore loser, but a recount in one swing state would have been easy, could have shown any discrepancies, and we would have known that either nothing happened or something happened.
In 2020 they did recount after recount and always found the same result that Biden won. Not doing recounts is insane.

Honestly, not being a sore loser is what ended her political career. She got nothing out of conceding quickly, especially because Biden and Harris both painted a Trump presidency as a cataclysm for democracy.
If Trump is so bad (spoiler alert: he is), then you can’t just throw in the towel because CBS projects Trump to win Florida. You ultimately become complicit in his victory. And that’s really hard to forgive.
