We should just make Florida vote early and turn in all of their results before anyone else. That way they have no incentive to recount when things don't go their way.

So what happened in 2000 seems in danger of a repeat...
The [Republican] powers that be have made sure Broward county, a big Dem county, has only 1 vote tallying machine meaning it takes a long time to physically get all the ballots counted through the machine. The [Republican] powers that be have made a Florida state law that says if counts aren't done by certain deadlines, the votes from those areas simply don't count. The state now faces 3 state-wide recounts that have been triggered by close elections. So there's going to be the problem that there simply is not going to be enough time to perform the recounts in this county. Last time this happened, 2000, the issue went all the way up to [Republican-dominated] SCOTUS who said, yes stop the recount and thus declare victory for the Republican candidate without counting all the ballots.
So it's worth asking: Why do Republicans hate democracy and hate people being able to vote and have their votes counted? Why are they such evil scum that they do this? A similar type of thing is happening in Arizona where Republicans are suing to stop the recount with the aim of having votes not be counted and thus having victory declared for Republicans without counting all the votes.
Turned out it was box of unused provisional ballots... the kind of thing you'd expect to be in a storage area."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I notice that the republicans here are all so concerned about the election process in Fla., but for some reason, Georgia, where the republican candidate is actually in charge of the very election he is running in doesn't seem to bother them at all. If this were happening in a Blue state under democrat control can't you just imagine the reverse uproar coming from these republican hypocrites.

Tell us your source for your assertion here that those provisional ballets were unused.
