Lawyers for Florida Democratic candidates Andrew Gillum and Bill Nelson both fought to prevent a non-citizen’s vote from being excluded Friday night, according to a transcript of a Palm Beach County Canvassing Board proceeding obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Michael Barnett, chairman of the Palm Beach Republican Party, told TheDCNF that the county’s canvassing board was going through provisional ballots and quickly deciding whether to allow or disallow each. This exchange is of the first non-citizen’s vote they encountered. “We had a court reporter that we hired to sit in the proceedings, which are public,” he said.
The vote was disallowed despite the objections of the lawyers because two of the three members of the canvassing board ruled that it was an impermissible vote, he said.
Marc Elias, a lawyer for Nelson, told TheDCNF: “The lawyer who was present was not someone we had authorized to make such an objection. Non-citizens cannot vote in U.S. elections.”
He did not explain how the lawyer, Mr. Scarola, came to be representing Nelson’s interests in Palm Beach.
Barry Richard, a lawyer for Gillum, did not immediately return a request for comment.
The provisional ballots are being counted as the governor’s and Senate race in Florida appear to be within the thresholds requiring a recount. Gillum is running against Rep. Ron DeSantis for governor, while current Florida governor Rick Scott is challenging Nelson for Senate.
Palm Beach County and Broward County have been the sites of significant irregularities. (RELATED: Florida Elections Might Be In The Hands Of County Election Chief Who Has Already Violated The Law)
Elias is a powerhouse election lawyer who worked for the Democratic National Committee and hired Fusion GPS, which fed the FBI a “dossier” about Trump and Russia. He also litigated the recount that led to Al Franken defeating Norm Coleman for a Minnesota Senate seat.
And if any voted or attempted to vote, they should be charged and allowed to self-deport, else be prosecuted, jailed, then deported.
Non citizens are being allowed to vote in more and more places. They should never be allowed to vote even if it is just for local positions. They will grow in number then vote to change that to state wide then country wide. Like a virus it grows. Want proof? Just look at California.
They have been since Obama took office. This isn't going to get better. Americans are furious, but our politicians are doing nothing. They're complicit, IMO.
We have proof now that non-citizens are voting in federal elections. We should audit the vote nationwide (I know it’s expensive, but so is having your country stolen). Prosecute every non-citizen who voted. If convicted, send them to prison and deport them when they get out. No exceptions.
They are attorneys. Complaining that they are acting like attorneys will not gain is much.
This is a standard objection to preserve future rights. If they do not object then, then they could not challenge this issue later.
Say that they go out and research this one vote and find out that the Board lady was incorrect, that the person is a citizen. Then they could mount a challenge.
So they are merely preserving a ‘future right’ however remote.
This does not extend to them being in favor of illegal citizens voting. It just makes them (evil,creepy, toxic) lawyers.
This would seem to indicate that's more than a joke. Unless we let this stand. Then the joke is on us.
Katia ??? belongs in jail, for a LOOONG time. Ditto for anyone else found to have voted who isn’t a citizen.
And when these cheating POSs are released from jail, boot their asses out, FOREVER.
“...to include NON-CITIZENS...”
All I needed to know.
Libtard, progressive Dems are an utter cancer upon this country...UTTER CANCER!
“I know my dog is looking forward to voting the first time. But it won’t be for a democrat.”
Agreed. Where does this shit end? We are officially a banana republic. Just what the democrats want
Well. If the steal AZ and Fla there needs to be a revolution
If something like that can stand, there is nothing they won’t do!
Enough is enough
Non-citizens are not approved to vote.
Only citizens.
Can't wrap my head around all those negatives.
I can, however, identify the real negatives as GILLUM and NELSON.
So let's just give the Flori-DUH peninsula to Haiti and SO Cal and AZ to Mexico and be done with it.
No real loss.
Talk about disenfranchisement.
We were also told it was bad when foreigners interfere in our elections. I believe we indicted several of them.
Did someone report this criminal to ICE and the DOJ?
p

What good are open borders if illegals cant vote?
Once the dems have a warm body they can make any claim about him they want and they do.ANd if he doesnt speak English even better.
Refer them to the Muller investigation for colluding with the governments oh Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala to influence our elections with the votes of their foreign nationals.
This is insanity!
