    In some alternate reality. You don't care how he wins, as long as he wins, right?

    You are obviously ignorant of the history of these Fl shenanigans. I live here and have all my life. Go tell tales to someone gullible enough to be fooled.

    I did some research:

    "345,000 votes remain uncounted in Maricopa County while a small number of ballots remain uncounted as well in smaller counties.
    Officials estimate about 195,000 of those are early ballots, provisional, and out-of-precinct ballots that voters cast or dropped off on Election Day."
    https://www.abc15.com/news/region-p...light-lead-in-senate-race-over-martha-mcsally

    It seems that the courts are involved. That will stall things.
    "Arizona Democrats got a court order Thursday giving them access to a list of questioned ballots in a bid to have more of them verified even as Republicans go to court today to try to change ballot-counting procedures to help their own candidates in close races.

    Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Kiley ordered County Recorder Adrian Fontes to give the party a list of those early ballots where there are signature-verification issues.

    That same order also requires Fontes to produce a list of “provisional” ballots, those that are cast at the polls but are set aside because of potential problems, like the failure to have the proper identification. If they show up with the required ID within five business days, the ballots are counted; otherwise they are tossed."


    "The first step is to see if the signature on the envelope matches the one they have on file. If not, most counties have procedures to contact the voter and see if they actually were the sender and if there is a reason for the disparity.

    If everything checks out, the ballot is removed from the envelope and put into the stack to be counted.

    In the four counties at issue, officials continue the verification process after Election Day.

    By contrast, officials in the state’s other 11 counties — virtually of which have Republican voter registration edges and produced more votes for McSally and Riggs than their Democratic foes — do not contact voters when signatures do not match on ballots turned in on Election Day and do not count the votes inside."

    Looks pretty screwed up to me.

    AJ is the same guy that said that it didn't matter what disgusting things the Dems did because Kavanaugh was still confirmed so it's all good. Nothing to worry about.

    No proof anything underhanded is happening here (as usual), but I still wonder why there is not a mandated national way to tabulate votes in our elections...

    I think it's ridiculous that each state mandates how they do their own voting... Paper ballots for all with immediate electronic counting.... Mail in/Absentee ballots counted the same way on election night.

    The concern apparently is there is a higher vote count for Governor than Senator. That does seem worth looking into and the state law requires a hand count anyways.

    Not sure why the Fraud King would want to bring up fraud. None does fraud better than Rick Scott.

    Also Rick Scott was never declared at any point in this election.

    this Snipes character after being found guilty of federal and state election crime shouldn't been allowed with in 50 feet of voter ballots let alone continue to be in charge of the voter count

    I used to travel all over the country and around the world for the Govt. The times I went to Florida, I was amazed by the local news. It was like I was watching a national news network, because all the stories were the same. A lot of bad juju happens in Florida. Never experienced that anywhere else.

    I'm also a native lifelong Floridian. I agree with you about Snipes and this whole thing smelling fishy.

    South Park cracks me up.

    Scott Wins Lawsuit Against Broward County's Criminal Elections Commissioner

    She wasn't just breaking the law, she was flagrantly breaking the law,ignoring all the parts of the law specifically enacted to ensure people would not just create new "votes" behind closed doors and without supervision.

    Why would someone violate the very rules that are supposed to guard against vote fraud?

    Hmm, that's a puzzler.

    Day 3 of the Broward & Palm Beach County Supervisors abject display of ineptitude. 102.141 4(b) details the process by which ballots shall be counted. This is not about ballot length, as Miami-Dade, the single largest county in the state did not have this problem.

    Twitchy collected a good thread arguing why these laws are important, and hinting at why someone might choose to deliberately violate them.

    Replying to @michaelmorley11
    5/ @FLGovScott current lawsuit alleges that Dr. Snipes violate state public records laws by refusing to reveal the number of ballots cast, counted, and left to be counted in response to his specific, written request. https://media.local10.com/document_dev/2018/11/08/scottvsnipes_13724676_ver1.0.pdf ….

    6/ In my experience, having done election day operations work in other jurisdictions, such a blanket, unexplained refusal is bizarre. At a minimum, one of the most important facts an election supervisor must keep track of, and knows, is the number of ballots her office has.

    How do you know it isn't? This is pure simple match. Check the number of people who registered to vote against the vote counts. Number of actual votes should be equal to or less than that of people who registered.

    Because the portions of election law that have thus far been violated were some the precursors for establishing the transparency that would allow for auditing of the things you are speaking of. It seems like a minor thing to have issue with but they are actually pretty important laws.

    Heaven forbid a slew of election law violations in a county with a history of the same thing, makes people angry and rightly suspicious.

    When the county actually loses the lawsuit I dont think you can call it a conspiracy anymore.

    If you are so partisan to call a county with a notorious history of these incidents "conspiracy theories" then you told me all I need to know, in a single post...
