Recounting all the ballots for all the races is a huge task and the problem is almost certainly limited to just the ballot propositions in the few towns that had them... but it is the right thing to do.

🧵 Keep 'em coming
In the past year, 75,000 people have signed up to run for local or state office through Run for Something, a grassroots political group that recruits young progressives.
For context: 67,000 people signed up with the group in Trump’s first term ― over the *entirety* of those four years.
