TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida counties have reached the deadline for submitting the results of their election recounts.
A federal judge earlier rejected a request to give counties more time beyond the 3 p.m. Thursday deadline to finish their recounts. Palm Beach County’s election supervisor had warned that the county would not be able to complete the recount on time.
The election will be certified Tuesday.
The state’s 67 counties were required to do machine recounts of more than 8 million ballots cast in the contentious midterms. The U.S. Senate and governor’s races were among the three within the vote margin to trigger a machine recount.
Several lawsuits have been filed by Democrats and Republicans in the wake of the close election.
Well, there goes the whole “count every vote” idea.
Florida–fucking America over since 2000.
So the election was a just for kicks.
Only in America is the concept of counting every vote considered detrimental to democracy. Hell, it’s considered almost as detrimental as the act of voting itself.
Fool me once. Fool me twice etc. So when does the boycott of Florida and its products start and what do they have to show to stop it?
