thehill.com/homenews/campaign/416154-scott-takes-additional-legal-action-as-florida-recount-moves-forwardFlorida Gov. Rick Scott (R) filed two emergency motions in Palm Beach and Broward County courts on Sunday, ramping up legal efforts as recounts began in the state’s contested Senate race. The motions request that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and county sheriffs impound and secure all voting machines, ballots and tabulating devices when they are not in use. Scott’s campaign also filed a complaint in Broward court asking a judge to bar the county canvassing board from including ballots counted after a noon Saturday deadline in the final vote tally.“The Broward and Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections has already demonstrated a blatant disregard for Florida’s elections laws, making it more important than ever that we continue to do everything possible to prevent fraud and ensure this recount is operated responsibly,” Chris Hartline, a spokesman for Scott’s campaign, said in a statement. “Senator-Elect Rick Scott will continue to fight to protect the will of Florida voters.”

Simple resolution of this. If they can’t make the deadline, then their votes are considered null & void and Tuesday’s results stand.

Former Hillary Clinton advisor in an op-ed saying she will run again in 2020: www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-will-run-again-1541963599Excerpts: Like a cockroach that just won’t die, or the final boss in a video game that keeps obnoxiously coming back after each defeat — Clinton just won’t go away. Penn said that by “reinventing herself as a liberal firebrand, Mrs. Clinton will easily capture the 2020 nomination.”

This country is too big.
This is common sense stuff. Yet b/c of all the red tape, there is no way to stop this BLATANT fraud.
Somebody with some balls needs to do something.

What needs to happen is the Republican leadership needs to follow President Trump’s lead and fight back, instead of just standing there and taking it because they are scared the biased media will say something bad about them. The recent elections where the RINO’s were thrown out and those who follow Trump’s leadership won is very telling.

And another case where thousands of votes just “magically” appeared to alter an election that a GOP candidate had won: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/xochitl-torres-small-wins-cd2-race-after-thousands-of-absentee-ballots-counted/ar-BBPqZGfRoughly 8,000 ballots were the deciding factor in who was elected to the 2nd Congressional District seat. Poll workers at the Doña Ana County election warehouse spent hours sorting through thousands of absentee ballots Wednesday. After an additional day of counting ballots, Democrat Xochitl Torres Small was named the winner in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District race. Torres Small gave an emotional victory speech shortly after the secretary of state called the race. “This process doesn’t fix our challenges. Only working together will do that. That’s why I am so grateful for everyone who has stood up in this moment to work together.” She thanked a lot of people, including her team and parents.

www.dailywire.com/news/38230/broward-county-elections-supervisor-be-forced-james-barrettAfter a judge found her to have violated Florida elections law and amid reports of more highly suspicious actions by her office, the supervisor of elections for Broward County, Brenda Snipes, is expected to be "forced from office" by either Gov. Rick Scott or governor-elect Ron DeSantis, Politico reports. "Counting unlawful votes. Destroying ballots. Sunshine Law violations. Busted deadlines," Politico's Marc Caputo writes. "So many controversies have bedeviled Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes — culminating in her office’s troubles in the aftermath of Florida’s chaotic 2018 elections — that her days in office are now numbered, insiders and lawmakers say." www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2018/11/12/incompetence-broward-election-chief-likely-to-be-forced-from-office-by-scott-desantis-691675Even Snipes' fellow Democrats have begun to abandon her amid her increasingly indefensible mishandling of the count, which has already resulted in a judge finding her in violation of Florida election law, Snipes' office accidentally mixing invalidated ballots into legitimate results, and a suspicious series of reports of "found" ballots and illegally transported ballots. The situation is adding up to "the increasing likelihood of an embarrassing suspension from office at the hands of either Gov. Rick Scott or his likely successor, Ron DeSantis," Caputo reports. With 100% of the vote counted, but automatic recounts in process, Scott and DeSantis lead their Democrat opponents by about 12,500 and 33,700 votes out of over 8 million votes cast, respectively. The gap in Scott's contest against incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson is less than 0.25%, triggering a hand recount. The gap between DeSantis and Democrat Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is less than 0.5%, triggering a machine recount. The races tightened in the eleventh hour, with Democrat-strongholds Broward County and Palm Beach County slowly disclosing more largely pro-Democrat votes, while failing to follow state law in transparency regarding the process. Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has been sounding the alarm over the actions of Broward and Palm Beach, slammed Snipes' office as "the most troubled elections office in the nation" and Snipes as having "shown she’s incapable of conducting a large and important election in a way that inspires public confidence and trust." Among the troubling actions of Snipes, he noted, are destroying ballots and opening absentee ballots early, both in violation of state law, and misprinting ballots. Her office was also caught mixing in illegal votes with valid votes: While Snipes' attorney has attempted to dismiss the series of reports and accusations as "political gamesmanship," according to Caputo's sources, the elections supervisor appears to know her days in office are numbered: Democrats say Snipes has privately confided that she plans to quit, but it’s unclear when. “I hope it’s soon,” said one state Senate Democrat who declined to be named. “Otherwise, she’s a goner.” Heading into the election, Democratic campaigns fretted about what her mismanagement would do in the second-largest Democratic county in the state. Meanwhile, both Scott and DeSantis are holding their cards close, knowing their comments might come back to haunt them in court, Caputo's Republican sources say. "I need to be careful with what I say about her," Scott reportedly told one of the sources in confidence. Scott is "focused on winning," the source added. "He’s senator-elect and he has blinders on to make sure it stays that way."

On Sunday night Richard DeNapoli took video from the Ft. Lauderdale airport where the election worker dropped off his Avis rental car.
The provisional ballot box and election signs were left in the car that was rented by Broward County election worker Noah Holliman,(registered Democrat):
DeNapoli says the Broward Police Departement showed NO INTEREST in collecting the ballot box.
So DeNapoli called FDLE officers to come pick up the forgotten materials.

www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/11/12/judge-denies-rick-scotts-bid-to-impound-voting-machines-offers-compromise/A Broward judge on Monday turned down Gov. Rick Scott’s request to “impound and secure” all voting machines in Broward’s elections headquarters when they’re not being used to recount ballots.a But Circuit Judge Jack Tuter offered a compromise: Add three Broward Sheriff’s deputies to the current lineup of BSO officers and private security guards overseeing the recount under way at the county’s election’s center in Lauderhill. Tuter stopped short of granting the Scott campaign’s request for an injunction to impound the machines, but agreed with his lawyers that “there needs to be an additional layer of confidence” in the vote-recount system in Broward. The votes in the U.S. Senate race between Scott and incumbent Bill Nelson are part of the recount. Tuter asked the lawyers representing Scott’s campaign and attorneys for Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes to come back by 1 p.m. Monday with a plan that would assign the three additional BSO deputies to protecting the voting machines and ballots during the recount of races for U.S. Senate, Florida’s governor and state agriculture commissioner.

www.onlineathens.com/nationworld/20181111/democrat-abrams-files-new-suit-in-georgia-governors-raceATLANTA | Stacey Abrams’ Democratic campaign filed a federal lawsuit Sunday asking a judge to delay vote certifications in Georgia unsettled governor’s race by one day and to make officials count any votes that were wrongly rejected. If successful, the suit would prevent officials from certifying county vote totals until Wednesday and could restore at least 1,095 votes that weren’t counted. The campaign said thousands more ballots could be affected. Republican Brian Kemp’s campaign didn’t have any immediate comment on the lawsuit, filed over alleged problems in populous Gwinnett and DeKalb counties in metro Atlanta. But Kemp aides previously said Abrams has no path to victory and called her refusal to concede a “disgrace to democracy.” Abrams’ campaign manager, Lauren Groh-Wargo, said the state’s numbers can’t be trusted and that 5,000 votes came in Saturday that previously were unknown. “This race is not over,” she said on a conference call with reporters. “It’s still too close to call.”

www.fox35orlando.com/news/politics/nelson-calls-on-scott-to-recuse-himself-from-any-role-in-the-recount-processOn Monday, Bill Nelson called for Rick Scott to recuse himself from “any role” in Florida’s recount process, as the supervisors of elections across the state begin a mandatory machine recount of more than 8.2 million ballots cast in this year’s U.S. Senate race. “[Rick Scott] should remove himself from any role in the recount process so the people can have confidence in the integrity of the election,” Nelson said in a video statement released by his campaign. “Given his efforts to undermine the votes of Floridians, this is the only way that we can ensure that the people’s votes are protected. “ Nelson went on to say that Scott is “using his power as governor to try to undermine the voting process” and that his recent actions make clear that he “cannot oversee this process in a fair and impartial way.”

Hillary gets involved: www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/hillary-clinton-stakes-claim-in-florida-deploying-lawyers-organizersDespite the tweeted complaints of Donald Trump and Rick Scott, the counting of ballots in Florida has continued. The final margin in the races for Senate is too close to call, and the Secretary of State has just ordered a recount. We need to make sure that Senator Nelson’s team has everything they need for this process, and we cannot waste a moment. Make a donation to the DSCC’s voter protection efforts while they work to make sure every vote is counted. What we’re seeing right now is unprecedented — this is the first a full statewide recount in Florida history. It’s unbelievable that any elected official wouldn’t call for a fair and accurate count of the votes. The DSCC is currently deploying lawyers and organizers down to Florida to make sure that Senator Nelson has whatever legal support, staff capacity, and voter protection resources he needs to win this fight — and investing in their work is the best way you can have an impact. Chip in $25 to defend Democrats like Bill Nelson: Donate now Thank you, Hillary
