“Yes there is duplicate but jeeze Mariner, you want to be a Democrat?”

It’s Democrats that insist on violating rules.

Nothing wrong with it. The hand recount, in theory at least, is supposed to verify that it really was a voter skipping the race rather than a machine error (e.g. the bubble was filled out but was too light to be picked up by the machine, etc.).
Of course in reality the Dems, as history attests, use this process to count any ballots that will help their candidate and dismiss any that won’t.

“Can they “fill-in” the Senate race on the “Undervote” ballots if they see that the rest of the ballot was uniformly Democrat or Republican? Is that legal?”

The voter has to make some clear positive indication that they want a guy or gal.

A voter can write “Dem” by Nelson’s name and it must be considered a vote for Nelson.

A voter could write “Commie” by Nelson’s name and it should not be considered a vote for Nelson, but only a condemnation.

A half-filled out circle for Scott would be considered a vote for Scott.

In my polling place in Sarasota County, a lady had her ballot rejected by the machine, probably because she didn’t fill out a circle fully. The poll worker told the voter to examine her ballot to find the problem.

Our Florida machines are made by nationwide selling companies who have worked to make voting reliable.

So true.
And these ballots were already counted for the races which were properly filled out .
The Tuesday and Todays count included these ballot votes .
The under and over issues were involving mostly
minor races .
Those races were not counted by the machine because the race decision was screwy like two people were picked .
Most canvassing board already met and decided over these ballots and they are in todays count.
The ballot issues where involving minor races like water board or
Bond board members .

There is no way to determine “intent” on the ballot. But Dems got the benefit here. Over and under votes should not be counted.

I agree .
Desantis victory has huge implications .
The canvassing board i worked with ignored all under voted races and over voted races .

They already met and cleared the under over ballots .

The Steal is on...
=============

Detzner was a registered Democrat until 1984 when he changed his registration to Republican. He worked as a lobbyist for the Florida Beer Wholesalers Association. He served as chief of staff to James C. Smith, then the Secretary of State of Florida, from 2002 to 2003. After the 2002 election, re-elected Governor of Florida Jeb Bush appointed Detzner as interim Secretary of State, before Glenda Hood's swearing in.[1]

Detzner is a Bush loyalist looking for revenge against Trump. Jeb wants to destroy the Republican Party so he can come back as it's Savior... rebuild in Bush's immage....of course.

> Is Secretary of State Ken Detzner a Rat?

Unfortunately it seems like there is little difference in most cases...
