    Broward County again screws up

    AFter missing a deadline from a judge, the hand recount was started and was halted because they found out they were counting the wrong votes. Can American really deal with type of incompetence from our election officials? People are worried about Russian influence, well with stupidity like this running our own elections who needs outsiders trying to foul up our system, hell our own idiots are doing it themselves.
    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Fresh off its bungled machine recount, Broward County’s second day of manual recounting temporarily stopped about an hour after it began Saturday when lawyers from both political parties pointed out that volunteers were counting the wrong ballots.
    Hundreds of volunteers spent most of Friday sorting through 32,000 overvotes and undervotes in the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Broward officials announced Friday night they had finished their manual recount.
    On Saturday, the volunteers started sorting about 22,000 undervotes and overvotes in the contentious contest for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture.
    That came to a grinding halt when lawyers found thousands of overlapping ballots which clearly showed a vote in the agriculture race but were fuzzy in the Senate race.

    Yes - all these bad reports about election failures in Florida also cause me to doubt their ability to do the job right. In particular, the Democrats in Florida need to get their act together.

    But, is it only happening in Florida? Maybe it is more widespread, but no one else has been caught yet....... M

    I believe you are right.


    Let's look at something here.... A few weeks ago Americans bought 300 million lottery tickets for a single game. The very next morning after the drawing, the lottery officials knew what State and what location the winning ticket was sold at. If that does not make you think about how bad letting the govt run things really is, it should. Incompetence, that would be the very bottom thing I would say about them, I would also throw out that nefarious actions may also be front and center. It would not be the first time, as during the last election the head of the DNC was actually trying to make one candidate win over the other, that is despicable to say the least. Voters want things done fairly and the "perception" of something can make many of them upset.
