I think we’ve all seen, courtesy of black robed Obama appointees, that the will of the Florida legislature is no obstacle and can be ignored at will, and instead we should be ruled by what these appointees decide is “the right thing to do.”

There’s always an encounter with one of those economy-sized Burmese pythons they’ve got running round down there...

They found a 19 foot long python yesterday.

When they cut it open they found three boxes of uncounted Democrat ballots.

What difference does it make if he concedes or not?

33,683 vote difference. If Gillum gains 1 vote per week, he’ll overtake DeSantis in 645 years.

Gillum should give it up and start working on his Presidential campaign.

GOP is gutless and this is beyond a joke at this point.
Unreal!

THIS JUST IN: Florida recount cements gubernatorial win by Ron DeSantis

WASHINGTON – Andrew Gillum’s extraordinary bid to become Florida’s first elected black governor is over. A recount of more than 8 million ballots that ended Thursday afternoon confirmed that Republican Ron DeSantis beat the Tallahassee mayor in the nationally watched race that galvanized progressives across the country.

The final tally, which will be certified next week was 4,075,879 for DeSantis and 4,042,195 for Gillum. The margin of victory was enough for DeSantis, a former congressman representing Jacksonville, to avoid a hand recount of questionable ballots set aside for further review. He had already assembled a transition team to prepare for his ascendance as Florida’s 46th governor.

The deadline for the recount was 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Thursday but Palm Beach County, a Democratic stronghold, did not complete its recount. It was the only one of Florida’s 67 counties that failed to do so.“A vote denied is justice denied — the State of Florida must count every legally cast vote,” Gillum said in a statement after the recount totals were released. “As today’s unofficial reports and recent court proceedings make clear, there are tens of thousands of votes that have yet to be counted. We plan to do all we can to ensure that every voice is heard in this process. Voters need to know that their decision to participate in this election, and every election, matters. It is not over until every legally casted vote is counted.”

The victory by DeSantis, an ardent supporter of President Donald J. Trump, keeps the governor’s mansion in GOP hands, where it has been since 1999.

Who was it that said that a Trump refusal to accept the results of an election would be a threat to “our democracy”?

I think she said it while she was still certain the Dem cheating had her election in the bag.

He already conceded once. We’ll just go with that.

Man, what a sore loser. No class.

He's a Democrat. Democrats stopped accepting the results of elections that they didn't win in 2016. That fat loathsome communist wanabe dictator in GA, Stacy Abrams, is busy stealing the election with the help of Obama judges. And it seems no one is doing anything about it. Not being a lawyer or in law enforcement it still seems that corrupt election officials constantly "finding" additional ballots (which all favor Democrats) would be violating some sort of law.
