59. Someone would have to pay for the recounts though
Tue Dec 3, 2024, 02:32 PM
Dec 3

They are only free if the election in that state was hyper close, and none were. I think the closest state that Trump won was Wisconsin, and that was by 0.9%, or about 29,000 votes. I believe it costs over a million for each state's recount.
