So We Count The Votes Until Republicans Win And Then We Stop
Seems to me I’ve heard this song before, it’s an old familiar score …
Florida, you cannot hide Democratic ballots, count only the Republicans and then say that the counting is over once the Republicans are in the lead.
That’s the rules. Just because you got away with stealing an election in 2000 does not mean you can do it again this year. You have to wait at least 20 years before you steal another one. I think that’s in the rules, too.
If you’ll recall, the last election you stole ended in a crashed economy, banks failing, a couple of wars that cost $4 Trillion dollars and 6,648 American lives and a debt that could choke a horse. So, Florida, you can see why we’re a little anxious about you doing it again.
And then there’s this …
“The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!”
Donald Trump
Well, there ya go, Florida. You screwed up the election so Republicans win because they are experts at screwing up.
Oh, HELL No!
1Well, remember who ultimately was in charge and ran the system that is seemingly so broken (GOPs. For this entire century.). We should blame the Chief Executive of Florida for this mess. What is that person’s name again?
2Congress discharging its constitutionally mandated duty of checking the president by carrying out its prescribed role in impeaching a criminal … is not doing nothing.
3His Orangeness ascended to his position by interference and his motto seems to be “If you can’t win fair-and-square — cheat”
I cannot understand how the amount of interference that went on during the midterm elections can be allowed or tolerated. Georgia’s midterm elections should be nullified and redone with all people being allowed to exercise their right to vote, not just the republicans. Voter suppression, intimidation and moving or closing voting stations? Same in Florida. My word, what an unbalanced system.
4With a bigly “neener, neener, neener” to the snacilbupeR we need to emphasize that not only do we intend to count all votes, we plan to spend the coming months dismantling each and every voter suppression effort they have deployed.
One more task for the new House in 2019 – pass a replacement for the VRA eviscerated by the John Roberts SCROTUS. Looking at you John from MS, FL, GA, ND and every place racism and voter suppression have reared their ugly heads into our elections. John, your opinion in Shelby v. Holder was insanely premature to the point of ignorant.

5Old Fart #1,
Do you mean Katherine Harris who was the Sec’y of State for Florida? It was rumored that she was Jeb’s “pet rock” at the time of the election recount in 2000. After Dubya was elected, she got a cushy state rep.position and maybe given financial backing by Jeb.
6Isn’t there some UN body that steps in to supervise elections in places that have shown themselves incapable of conducting a fair election? Although if the SCOTUS hadn’t gutted the Voting Rights Act, we might not need them.
