FL - GOP Rick Scott Sues Broward, Palm Beach Counties

Rick Scott is contending operators with a sinister plot are working overtime using dubious means in a desperate move to snatch the win from him.

Scott, already the apparent winner in the U.S. Senate election held on Tuesday, filed lawsuits late Thursday in Broward and Palm Beach counties since votes have been mysteriously mounting in favor of incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

Scott’s election win is already in the bag on Tuesday night as unofficial results showed the Republican candidate beating Nelson by a little less than 60,000 votes- a razor thin margin but still enough to secure a victory. Then the mystery votes starting coming in from nowhere.

Officials in deeply liberal Broward and Palm Beach counties kept announcing more and more votes coming in on Wednesday and Thursday, whittling away at Scott’s lead. Teams of Democratic lawyers have also descended on Florida vowing recounts and lawsuits. It is at this point that the Scott campaign decided to take some action of its own to challenge what they see as the Democrats’ plot to steal the election victory from the GOP.

Scott and his team may have reasons to question the unfolding of votes from the two counties. For one, the vote total in Broward County stood at only 634,000 on election night. The number rose to 695,700 by 1 a.m. on Thursday and then to 707,223 votes by 2:30 p.m., and by 8 p.m. on the same day, the number has even climbed to 712,840.

While all those were happening, county officials have remained silent about where the thousands of votes had been coming from and how many more they “need” to count. Adding to the anxiety and doubts is Broward County’s own history with “dubious voting procedures.”

Even GOP Sen. Marco Rubio has come to the defense of Scott and categorically accused Nelson and his Democratic lawyers of electoral larceny.

Scott remains in a fighting mood and says he will not allow Nelson and the Dems to get away with electoral murder. Scott said: “We’ve all seen the incompetence and irregularities in vote tabulations in Broward and Palm Beach for years. Well, here we are again. I will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal the election from the people of Florida.”

Scott also added: “Every day since the election, the left-wing activists in Broward County have been coming up with more and more ballots out of nowhere. We all know what is going on. Every person in Florida knows exactly what is happening. Their goal is to keep mysteriously finding more votes until the election turns out the way they want.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rick Scott: &quot;The Broward supervisor of elections, Brenda Snipes, has a history of acting in absolute bad faith.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/0nYp8JSZkL">https://t.co/0nYp8JSZkL</a> <a href="https://t.co/CXRYmh8JR1">pic.twitter.com/CXRYmh8JR1</a></p>&mdash; The Hill (@thehill) <a href="https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1060947883829059584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2018</a></blockquote>

Democrat lawyer Marc Elias even held a news conference on Thursday where he boasted that Nelson would eventually be declared the winner in the polls. He also bragged about his supposed track record “’of flipping the results of elections” which allowed losing Democratic candidates to catch up and claim victory in the end.

Nelson’s campaign has also sent out fundraising blasts asking for contributions to its “Emergency Recount Fund.”

Florida machine recounts will happen if the margin between the candidates is below 0.5 of 1 percent; a hand recount will take place when said margin is reduced further to a quarter percent.

So far, the Florida secretary of state has not declared a recount. His office said that a recount would not happen until canvassing boards return their unofficial returns on November 10.

President Trump has also come to the defense of Scott and lamented what he fears to be an attempt by Democrats to cheat through Broward County, illustrating his own bad experience with it in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump took to Twitter with a series of messages.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rick Scott was up by 50,000+ votes on Election Day, now they “found” many votes and he is only up 15,000 votes. “The Broward Effect.” How come they never find Republican votes?</p>&mdash; Donald J.

Court has just ordered that sheboon supervisor to turn over vote counts. Furthermore,the court found her to be in violation of state public record laws.

In the last election, a broward county election worker was escorted from the building when she noticed 3 black election workers falsifying ballots. Trump won florida anyway despite the massive amount of election fraud committed there.

Armed security denied court ordered media allowed people from reviewing the she-rilla’s corrupted actions and evidence via paperwork. The media should of buffaloed the security and recorded it all.

Not any better in California.

Anyone can vote without ID & at the wrong polling station(s) with the provisional ballot. Not hard to cast many votes & have illegals vote this way.
