Most likely explanation is swing state voters are pushed to show up and ocean blue states had plenty of folks who didn't like Kamala enough to bother

I love audits. Audit them all (good on Texas btw)
With that said, it’s easier to move 70 to 60 then 50 to 40 And campaign effects are real
I agree with this honestly - Just not sure the spread would be this large.
Every single state should push through a comprehensive audit.
We have the most complicated election system in the developed world.
Its design is intentional.

I've been reading post mortems of the election from liberals. There's a common thread I'm finding that the left will have to get away from to win consistently.
Democratic candidates and pundits too often try to cast groups as single issue voters.
White women? They're being called traitors because they didn't flock to Harris because of abortion.
Hispanics? There's head scratching as to why they would vote for a candidate who rails about immigration and makes racially charged comments.
White men? They're being written of as racists and misogynists and being redemption.
For some of these writers and pundits, the idea that voters might care more about issues like the cost of groceries or crime than they do about race, sex, or abortion rights is completely alien.
The left will need to realize that voters rarely vote on a single issue. They'll need to find the issues that really resonate with people and run on those. Culture wars almost never triumph over the economy.

Judging by some stuff I'm reading, the lesson learned will be to double down and pull farther left. The lesson should be to center their campaign on issues that are important to people and take positions on them with wide appeal.
If you're struggling to pay for groceries you're not really going to care whether kids are getting puberty blockers or even whether people have easy access to abortion.

You're right they need to focus on the issues that voters care about. I think the right were the ones pushing trans rights to the front. I don't think pushing to the middle matters. Because it leads to voters not showing up. THey need to appeal to the average worker when Trump ****s them over again.

Hanging your hat on Pandemic economy is a foolish take.
We have that graph, you can see the trendline is pretty straight until the Pandemic.
This was pre pandemic but I'm shocked you are unware of the roaring Trump economy prior to the CCP bioweapon.

I’d hope anyone who thinks the American experiment ended with the election of a literal Hitler is reacting accordingly.
