The non-bullshit answer: they got pictures of us with boxes of votes taken from people’s cars, and then started auditing the vote. If they audit for duplicates and non citizens nationwide the democrats lose the house and the voters will become in a deportment dupporting mood.

Thanks for correcting me.

The fact that whoever decided this against him said there was SOME kind of logic to the request is scary enough.

Having lived down there, and actually being (I know, an endangered species), a native Floridian, I can tell you that most of the people I’ve met down there in Broward (where I lived from 1984 to 1992) appear to have had their brains melted by the extreme heat and most of those who are long-term locals have their skinned properly cooked. I’ve seen women who were in their mid-80’s and brown, and were obviously as caucasian as can be, and yet, they had cooked. I hated shaking hands with the older people there.

We lived in a small little conservative town in the north part of Broward county.

We had a Century Village (affectionately known as Cemetary Village). There were about 30,000 residents of the retirement community. The town had 60,000 voters and about 70,000 residents. Every election cycle, we had votes that were for the Dems and Reps. It didn’t matter what we wanted. Even if you had 90% participation outside the Village, and it was 90% Republican, they still lost due to the 100% participation and 99.97% Democrat participation.

They would fill out the ballots for the retirees, had polling places inside the village, and wheel them out. Frankly, it was a voter mill. Most of the people there didn’t like the mayor, but they still voted for her. Why? Because that’s what they were told to do.

Truth is an awful lot of people are really dumb.

Don’t we know it. It’s evidenced every single day especially with leftist rhetoric. It’s sad as hell

South Florida? Creole.

Many Hatians.

On the west side of Miami, there’s a point, if you follow Military Trail until it dead ended at 8th Street (this was in 1990), they had a street sign in Spanish, Calle Ocho. The sign was sub-titled in Creole and sub-sub-titled in English.

Today, John Smith (age 45 or 81 depending on age or date of birth) died today of unspecified illness. He leaves behind a husband, 3 cats and a hampter with no claws. John was responsible for the Trans-agism Movement and was the first declared by the courts to be an embryo at age 35. After surviving the abortion attempt, he was declared “born” and allowed to nurse from his mother goat.

Or, simply they made up ballots with just votes for governor.

First, it should be easy to test this theory. The House candidates are also listed in the bottom left corner, below the Senate candidates. If there is a similar "undervote" for the House race as there is argued to be for Senator, then that might strengthen the notion that people inadvertently skipped the bottom left corner of the page.

Second, the theory makes little sense on its face. There were fewer votes cast for Senator than for Governor. If everybody who voted for Governor also voted for Senator, I would expect a similar Rep vs Dem distribution for both races, given the current political polarization and the strong trend toward less and less ballot splitting. It's hard to imagine somebody voting for both DeSantis and Nelson, or for both Scott and Gillum. So if there was a lesser undervote for Senate it is probable that Scott would have a similar lead as DeSantis, i.e., larger than he currently has, not smaller or negative.

If the “sample ballot” that is posted is a “true” copy of the ballot, this argument would also carry over to the Congressional race since it is listed underneath the Senate race.

If not, then Florida voters must be living in a vacuum. I hardly doubt Bill Nelson or Rick Scott didn’t run radio and TV advertising. It was top of mind in most voters in Florida. I wouldn’t be surprised if the layout was done purposely just in case they needed the under vote to help cheat and throw the election to Nelson should he run behind.

Nothing wrong with that ballot. But if you’re too dumb to handle columnar data, maybe you’re too dumb to be voting on a more complex issue, eh? (not you personally, but the average south Florida voter)

“I assume they are honest about their age and name :)”

“Caitlyn” Jenner?

The 69 year old guy in Sweden(?) suing to legally list his age as 49?
Women “fudging” their ages since Adam and Eve?

There is NO reality dems won’t twist to get their way.
