The Florida Democratic Party made a post-election bid to "cure" defective ballots in the hope that a court would order these ballots to be counted in contradiction to state law. Chair of the Party, Terrie Rizzo explained that "it's only after all the legally compliant votes have been counted that we know how close the election was and whether it's worth the effort to try to get non-compliant ballots counted. With Republicans holding slim leads it was our assessment that bending the rules in the hope that a friendly judge would reward our effort seemed warranted."
Meanwhile, defeated Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla) is now urging the courts "to reopen the voting. Seeing how close the outcome was it goes without saying that there are now a lot of voters who wish they had taken the time to cast a ballot for me. Since the term of office of a US Senator is 6 years, surely the courts could allow another six weeks for these voters to come forward and cast the ballots they should have cast by Nov 6."
Not to be left out, defeated Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, fresh off his demand that every vote be counted, objected to including 150 votes from citizens in hurricane devastated northwest Florida because Bay County Elections Supervisor Mark Andersen allowed these voters to vote via email or fax. Andersen called it "an equity issue. Since I was able to match the signatures with the ones on file I deemed it reasonable to include these votes." Gillum contrasted this "playing favorites" with "the routine rejection of votes cast by non-citizens who cast their ballots at the polls on election day," which he characterized as "racism, pure and simple."

humor helps. it is so scary nowadays with the D’s trying to steal so many elections (and getting away with it so often, TOO)
that all this criminality has gone without violent or “self-help” reactions........is a miracle that shows just how peaceable the American people are
thank Heaven (but the election-thieves need to be sent to long prison sentences!!!!!!)
Hey can I crack a beer and celebrate Scott and Desanti victory already? When does this all become official?
“votes cast by non-citizens”
I think non-humans should vote, too.
On second thought, many of them probably do already.
What should we expect with the PARTICIPATION Trophies ALL THE RAGE with Democrats. For them everybody on their side wins.
Wow! Good thing that the satire tag was issued... The demoncrat behavior everywhere and on almost all issues is very logical... If no one stops me or punishes me, naturally it is absolutely "logical" that I'll do whatever I darn please...
The marxist/fabian plan to convert the world rests on just a few strategies...
These are just a few of the brilliantly logical strategies that began to be implemented in the U.S around 1904... Now they are just a couple of logical baby steps from their final goal...
The leading edge of the "thousand years" of darkness is upon us..
This is break your heart funny.
Florida 'logic' is different than logic in civilized states.
John, did you know we have lizards in Florida large enough to kill small dogs and cats? A few months ago my 'home owners association' put out a warning an alligator that had taken to walking the streets looking for a mate... and to watch out for him. That kind of stuff makes a lot of our citizens nuts.
