Bouncing back and forth between AC and Chris Hayes.
AC - people are overreacting to the goings ons. Believe what the state is saying.
CH - Abrams campaign chairwoman says that their investigation is correct and the state is not to be believed.

Snipes did not turn them over.
Rep. Gaetz: When I leave here we are going to go get motions of contempt prepared and we are going back in front of a judge to hold Brenda Snipes in contempt of court.

Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio sounded the alarm Friday night after Palm Beach elections supervisor Susan Bucher banned cameras from public ballot counting and threatened them with arrests. www.palmbeachpost.com/news/20181109/palm-beach-elections-supervisor-bans-cameras-from-public-ballot-countingRIVIERA BEACH — Breaking from normal practice, the Palm Beach County elections supervisor banned media from filming and photographing the high-profile midterm election ballot review process amid allegations of “incompetence” by Gov. Rick Scott.
Tensions flared Friday morning when Bucher threatened to have camera operators and newspaper reporters arrested for filming ballot tabulation as Palm Beach County. The meeting at least half a dozen television cameras and even more reporters as Palm Beach County is one of the last in Florida to report unofficial results in an election with three tight statewide races. Bucher accused several reporters of illegally taking pictures and videos of signatures on the envelopes of mail ballots.Reporters repeatedly assured Bucher that they were filming the board members from a safe distance as they examined ballots and decided whether to toss or count them. Signatures were not visible in any Palm Beach Post photos. Still, Bucher insisted that she’d bring officers to forcibly remove any member of the media who filmed the process. Despite objections from reporters, the canvassing board insisted that the meeting not be filmed or photographed. “There is no way the canvassing board can determine or ascertain what those cameras, those recording devices are recording,” said Judge August Bonavita, chair of the canvassing board. “We have to focus exclusively on what’s in front of us. We can’t pay attention to your cameras.” Five Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies watched the meeting both from inside the room and behind the glass windows lead inside. Under threat of arrest and removal from the meeting, reporters shut down their cameras.

www.dailywire.com/news/38192/palm-beach-elections-supervisor-under-fire-plays-hank-berrienPalm Beach Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher, reacting to claims from Florida Governor Rick Scott that the Palm Beach and Broward County Supervisors of Elections had violated federal and state laws by failing to provide information to officials, responded by playing the race card, limning Scott and those who support his efforts as racists. Bucher snapped, “It is very unfortunate that some of the highest elected officials in our country are trying to disrupt our democracy because they don’t like the demographics of our voters. I would wish that they would allow us to continue to count the ballots. We’re just doing our job in accordance with law.” Asked how the actions of the GOP were disrupting her, she answered, “It’s not disrupting me; it’s disrupting the public.” Asked to clarify, she responded, “I’m not going to clarify. The demographics of our county, they don’t like ‘em, and you know why. That’s all I have to say.” Bucher served as an aide to Democratic Florida state Rep. Ed Healey. After he died of a brain hemorrhage. Bucher ran in a special election to replace him and won. Later, she ran for the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections and won. Terri Parker of WPBF reported that lawyers for Scott told Marx on Friday that Bucher’s staff was duplicating damaged ballots without the required witnesses present. Bucher’s lawyers argued that Bucher’s staff had each other as witnesses. Miller said Marx stated that she wasn’t sure that’s what “witnesses” meant but said the counting was over so she let it go. Marx apparently found it a problem that Bucher’s staff did not forward ballots to the canvassing board to decide if they were under or over votes. Marx ordered Bucher to turn over the staff-rejected or decided ballots by 10 a.m. Saturday and to turn over a list of all provisional ballots to the Democratic Party by the end of the day Friday. www.wpbf.com/article/supervisor-of-elections-requests-emergency-hearing/24896226But late on Friday, Bucher said it was impossible for her to meet the 10 a.m. Saturday deadline imposed by Marx; she claimed the ballots on which her staff made decisions had already been mixed back in with all the regular ballots and it would be impossible to separate them out and still meet the state certification by Saturday. She asked Marx for reconsideration and an emergency hearing on Saturday. On Friday, Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips ruled in favor of Scott, who also filed suit along with the National Republican Senatorial Committee against Broward County election supervisor Brenda Snipes in order to force her to release public records surrounding the votes in Broward County. The lawsuit stated that Snipes was “unwilling to disclose records revealing how many electors voted, how many ballots have been canvassed, and how many ballots remain to be canvassed.” Phillips found that Snipes, the Broward Supervisor of Elections, violated public records act and the Florida constitution, and must provide public records requested by Scott and NRSC. Snipes must hand over the voting records by 7 p.m. EST on Friday.

OKC might be blue but fuck, Russell is creepy and didn’t even try. His fake voice is hard to listen to. He got beat by a divorced, failed attorney, highly likely lesbian who previously was a yoga instructor after quitting her law profession and also Joe Dorman’s campaign manager. She’s a really nice person. Dad is a retired house husband, mom is a retired physical therapist who used crystals as a part of her healing process and her brother is a physician. They are nice folks. Russel was an establishment Pub anyway...

Russel was an establishment Pub anyway... I just saw her on News9 , she comes across as a moderate Dem or trying to appear to be more centrist, says Oklahoma Dems are different from national Dems. Says she won't vote for Pelosi, says House needs new leadership. Said she was elected by all the growth and new people moving into dowtown OKC districts. She said they are young with families. I doubt the family part, in a great way.

Also, another on joins Rick Scott’s lawsuit: www.news-press.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/09/matt-caldwell-files-lawsuit-against-broward-elections-chief/1945396002/Matt Caldwell has followed Gov. Rick Scott’s lead in filing a lawsuit Friday against the Broward County Supervisor of Elections in one of the state’s closest races. The campaign of the Republican candidate for agricultural commissioner sent a news release Friday afternoon announcing that his attorneys filed a lawsuit in the 17th judicial circuit “asking the court to protect the integrity of all ballots and all public records relating to the election for Commissioner of Agriculture.” Caldwell thought he had edged out a victory in the agricultural commissioner race Tuesday night when he had about a 40,000 vote lead over Democratic candidate Nikki Fried. But the latest vote count shows Caldwell losing by 3,120 votes to Fried. The difference between the candidates is .04 percent, signaling an automatic recount, and a likely manual recount.

dailycaller.com/2018/11/09/cuomo-gaetz-florida-election-vote/CNN anchor Chris Cuomo and Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz got into a heated debate Friday over the alleged election misconduct in Florida. Governor Rick Scott filed lawsuits Friday alleging that the election supervisors in Broward and Palm Beach counties were not following election law. Judges ruled in his favor and demanded the supervisors in the respective counties turn over election information to Scott’s team. Cuomo alleged that despite the lack of transparency, there is no evidence of “fraud” or “cheating” as Scott claims. (RELATED: Cuomo Says Trump Got ‘Shellacked’ In Midterm ‘Popular Vote’) “It is hard to get the proof of fraud when the very proof itself is being hidden by the Broward County supervisor of elections,” Gaetz argued. “65 of the 67 counties did everything right and had their returns posted according to law. Only in deep blue Broward and Palm Beach County — familiar to all of us who follow elections — was there yet another persistent challenge.” “You are right, you should have transparency on all levels,” Cuomo said, before pushing back on the idea that Republicans can allege fraud before having any proof of it. “You know, as a lawyer, when litigants hide evidence or potentially destroy evidence, there are adverse inferences drawn against those litigants,” Gaetz broke down, noting that the election supervisors have yet to turn over information as the judges demanded. Cuomo and Gaetz got into a back and forth over whether Palm Beach and Broward’s failures to properly tally votes is due to their size or if the election supervisors are hiding nefarious activity. “You’re suspicious of the vote count because they’re Democrat strongholds,” Cuomo alleged. “You’re putting words in my mouth,” Gaetz shot back.

Europe reacts to US midterm elections: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46067264"Even handing over power to Democrats in the House of Representatives may have a bit of a silver lining for the president. Now he'll have someone to blame if the economy takes a turn for the worse (and, given business cycle realities, it might). He's got a ready-made explanation for why he can't get anything done in the next two years — and a pitch for what needs to change in the next election. "Day in and day out, he'll have a set of clear political opponents to contrast himself with. "Both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama lost control of the House in their first term in office and went on to win re-election." ....... www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/07/midterms-not-a-bad-night-for-trump"While there was a Democratic 'blue wave,' it was modest, in line with usual midterm shifts, particularly when one party is in charge of all the branches of government. Trump will celebrate this as a victory, which is not without merit. ........ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/07/democratic-presidential-candidates-2020"As many as two dozen Democrats are said to be seriously considering running for president. The sprawling field spans the ideological spectrum of the left and is distinguished by gender, race and age.... "The major fault line is between those who believe the party's next presidential nominee should be unapologetically liberal who can boost turnout among progressives, minorities, young people and other base voters, and those who believe the party should nominate a candidate who can chart a more moderate course that appeals to independent and undecided voters in battleground states." ......... www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/07/trump-congress-midterms-fight-lie-another-day"While Democrats in the House can launch investigations, Republicans in the Senate can keep appointing judges. Trump retains the power to put a third justice on the supreme court, as well as packing lower benches with reliable conservatives who will be in place — making decisive rulings on civil rights and the like — for the next 40 years. That could prove Trump's most lasting legacy. ....... www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/midterms-2018/midterm-elections-results-democrats-house-representatives-nancy-pelosi-trump-us-a8621661.html"The Democrats may be in a stronger position than they have been in Congress for eight years, but without majorities in both congressional houses they will still struggle to block many of the Trump administration's political moves.... "Donald Trump has already registered his 2020 campaign slogan as 'Keep America Great.'.... "Most presidents who lose one or even both houses in their first midterms go on to re-election — including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon."

Europe reacts #2: www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/midterms-show-it-s-going-to-take-a-lot-more-to-topple-trump-a3983326.html"There is a difference between an electoral scolding and a tornado of public fury. Even the most partisan opponent of the President would be hard pushed to describe these elections as transformational in character.... "Trump was indeed chastised by the US electorate: but scarcely to the extent that he might have feared, and many hoped. The resilience of his political base and the strength of the US economy — which has recorded growth near or above three percent in five of the seven quarters since he took office — saw him through: bruised but still standing. "What will it take to topple this man? A lot more than the Democrats have yet mustered." ....... www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/it-s-great-to-see-the-left-fight-back-in-the-us-and-it-inspires-us-here-but-moral-rage-alone-won-t-a3983296.html"The big lesson for the Left is that while liberal disgust at Trump was a powerful driver, it isn't enough.... This is a battle of ideas, who we are and what we believe. Even if you loathe Trump and the Republicans, you know their script. Low taxes, low regulation, jobs, borders, traditional values and guns. Make America Great Again. Not one political geek in the room knew what the core positive Democrat message was, or if one even existed." ......... www.lefigaro.fr/international/2018/11/07/01003-20181107ARTFIG00339-le-trumpisme-resiste-a-l-epreuve-des-midterms.php"The Trump Fortress is besieged but its ramparts are solid. By depriving it of its majority in the House of Representatives, but strengthening it in the Senate, Tuesday's elections normalized a presidency that the Democrats hoped to disqualify as a historical anomaly.... "Although his ability to govern is going to be seriously undermined, the president feels he is in a good position to be re-elected in two years. His fiercest opponents, who dreamed of having his rhetoric and nationalism disqualified at the ballot box, have ended up with a president who has become 'normal' in two elections, firmly established at the head of his party and ready to fight in 2020." ....... www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article183427110/Nach-Midterm-Elections-in-den-USA-Die-Angst-der-Europaeer-Trump-zu-provozieren.html"The mood between the US and the EU is likely to worsen further. Put simply, Trump is expected significantly to increase pressure on Europeans to invest the target of two percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. Above all, Berlin will face pressure to spend billions and billions of euros, because the federal government is far from achieving this goal." ....... www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2018-11/midterm-elections-2018-republikaner-donald-trump-usa"From a German perspective, the result of these midterms is unclear: Donald Trump's Republicans lose the majority in the House of Representatives, but expand their majority in the Senate. And even the elections of governors in more than 30 American states are not as devastating for Republicans as expected. Why, one wonders, have voters not punished the unpopular Trump and his party far more severely? "The answer is simple: Because this election took place not in Germany, but in America, which, by reestablishing a balance of power in Congress, returned to political normality on November 6, despite and because of Trump.... "These midterm elections have also shown: Donald Trump remains an unpredictable and strong opponent for the Democrats. It will not be easy for them to take the president out of office in two years. Almost everywhere Trump fought in this Republican campaign, his supporters have won. By contrast, his party critics have lost." ........ www.fr.de/politik/meinung/leitartikel/us-kongresswahlen-trump-wird-die-schwaechen-der-demokraten-ausnutzen-a-1616582"The Democrats have a chance in the presidential elections in 2020 only if they prove their own political ability, drive a coordinated course and advertise with charismatic minds for a change. Currently, the party lacks all three conditions. Trump will exploit this weakness. He will flatter power-hungry faction leader Nancy Pelosi today and demonize her tomorrow. He will lure the Democrats with poisoned offers and defame them as blockers if they refuse."
