Matt Schlapp: Here’s What FL Dems Mean By ‘ Count Every Vote’
Townhall.com ^ | November 9, 2018 | Cortney O'Brien

The midterm battle in Florida is far from over, it seems. Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared victory Tuesday night over Sen. Bill Nelson (D) and Rep. Ron DeSantis was the declared winner over Democrat Andrew Gillum. The latter had even conceded, but is now starting to change his mind because officials are insisting there are more ballots to be counted in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

“I’m cynical,” said Matt Schlapp, president of the American Conservative Union.

“They’re trying to get it below a quarter of a percent to get to hand recount,” he explained on Fox News Friday. The hand counting, he charged, is “very subjective.”

They are taking provisional ballots and counting them "even though they’re not able to vote,” Schlapp said. “This is crooked, wrong and needs to be stopped.”

Putting "illegal" ballots in with legal ballots "and not telling us what these numbers are" is unfair, he added. He also noted "they didn’t let cameras or observers in" when the officials began counting. "We’ll never know all that they did."

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is also warning his fellow Florida Republicans about the hand counting. He's so fired up about the controversy he shared a lengthy Twitter thread about it on Thursday.

Not very comforting to #Florida voters that #BrowardCounty supervisor,in whose hands may rest outcome of Senate & cabinet race has in the past:
1. Illegally destroyed ballots
2. Secretly opened mail ballots
3. Sent voters too many ballot pages
4. Left const question off ballot— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 9, 2018

Gillum had a much different description of what's occurring in his state. He said the vote counting is a constitutional necessity.

Mr. @FLGovScott — counting votes isn't partisan — it's democracy.

Count every vote.— Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) November 9, 2018

The margins can't get much tighter. Scott is leading Nelson by just 0.18 points on Thursday night. DeSantis is leading Gillum by 0.44 points.

Gov. Scott is suing Florida’s Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes for allowing the counting of the mysterious discovery of thousands of new votes.

"The lack of transparency raises substantial concerns about the validity of the election process,” the lawsuit reads.

Schlapp noted on Twitter that Snipes has a history of scandal.

She's knows exactly what she is doing https://t.co/HJ7MMuCE2a— Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) November 9, 2018

Pretty easy to say what’s happening:
1. They secret votes to a location.
2. Damage any R vote, keep any D vote.
3. Remark and revote R vote as D vote.
4. Throw away damaged vote numbers.

IMO, if someone doing the counting is of a particular party and refuses to allow free and complete access to the process to ensure honesty, that party should FORFEIT the election.

This is one of her scams...how she rigs elections:

“Approximately 106% of the citizens of voting age were registered to vote and cast a ballot in Broward County. Snipes in this case, received information regarding over 200 registered voters in one community in Coconut Creek who have either died or who no longer reside in the community.”

She leaves these voters on the rolls...then weaves them in later.

“Approximately 106% of the citizens “

This alone amounts to 36,000 votes

"Count every vote."

No, how about we count every legitimate vote.

She's a master criminal. Lock her up.

They might do that, but it isn’t necessary as is being proven.

All they have to do is keep prying eyes away while they create provisional ballots - and ‘find’ the provisional ballots that they created for 3 weeks of early voting - that will then get counted and included in the tally without regard to verifying the info on the ballot.

While we’re playing by the rules, they’re filthy rotten evil to their cores.

Throw out the two counties. The cast ballots are too polluted now.

Trump needs to send the military in now.

What the Democrats are trying to do in Boward is nothing less than an attempt at a coup

That is the only logical course. Make the 'Rats efforts account for nothing.

Hey Florida Freepers. Did you get an extra ballot or two or four in the mail? Fill them out now, send them in and demand that every vote count. Then, demand more ballots!!!

Matt Schlapp knows exactly what these Democrats are trying to do. He's been there on the ground in Florida before, he lived it in 2000!


That's him in the middle getting ready to stop the Broward election committee from stealing the Florida recount for Gore. The Brooks Brothers 'riot' was my favorite part of being a young Freeper. Better than nested glyphs!
