Nearly 3,000 votes effectively disappeared during the machine recount of Florida’s midterm races, according to election records, calling into question whether officials relied on a flawed process to settle the outcome of three statewide contests.
With extremely narrow gaps separating candidates in the still-undeclared races for both governor and United States Senate, the results of the machine recount of all votes cast in the Nov. 6 election, posted by the Florida secretary of state’s office, showed 900 fewer votes than those reported in the original statewide tally.
The discrepancy was expected to grow by an additional 2,000 votes when updated numbers from Broward County, whose results initially were disqualified because they came in two minutes late, are added to the statewide results on Sunday.
None of the discrepancies would be enough to affect the outcome of the three statewide and three local elections that are still waiting for a winner to be called. But they come as at least three Florida counties — two of them Democratic strongholds whose results could be decisive — have reported problems counting their shares of the more than 8.1 million ballots cast across the state.
In one of the most serious cases, Palm Beach County found “dozens of precincts missing a significant number” of votes during the machine recount, according to the supervisor of elections, Susan Bucher, causing the county to conclude that entire boxes of ballots may not have been counted.

Out of San Fran,ey?
I wonder which party those ballots were cast for?
Because during the recount they (the ‘rats perpetrating voter fraud) realized the ballots would be subject to extra scrutiny. Awkward, uncomfortable questions might be asked. Official statements taken. Legal action taken... So I would bet you dollars to donuts the votes that mysteriously disappeared prior to the recount were 100% fraudulent. This was someone cleaning up a mess before it became very public.
It is a odd thing that we don’t have ‘neutral’ parties running elections. Just odd.
What stops them from re-running a stack ballots through the machine again?
Lets say they have a stack of 200 strait D ballots, what stops them from taking that stack and running it through the machine 15 times?
Any sort of serial or encoding that would tell the machine it was a dupe run?
I am just asking, cause I have no idea
Snipes should be making License plates not supervising the counting of ballots
Hi.
“the variance of your machine count is half the margin you are trying to correct. That’s kooky.”
I have another word for, “kooky.” Voter fraud.

Plenty of good lines in the article. No explanations from the ‘officials’ when confronted.
sounds like machine tampering
running too fast? So they can’t find the republican ballots to toss?
I’m thinking...they must have been votes for Rick Scott...
just sayin’
Remember when, before the election, we were hearing of all the absentee ballots coming in Fl that were mainly Republican. The numbers were humongous in our favor.
Wonder what happened to some of them.
"Federal prosecutors reviewing altered election documents tied to Florida Democrats”

The concerns, which the department says can be tied to the Florida Democratic Party, center around date changes on forms used to fix vote-by-mail ballots sent with incorrect or missing information.
Known as “cure affidavits,” those documents used to fix mail ballots were due no later than 5 p.m. on Nov. 5 — the day before the election. But affidavits released on Tuesday by the DOS show that documents from four different counties said the ballots could be returned by 5 p.m. on Thursday, which is not accurate.
Audio of a Florida Democratic Party caller leaving a voicemail message asking a Palm Beach County voter to fix their vote by mail ballot after Election Day, which is not allowed, was also sent to POLITICO separately. It was not part of the information turned over to federal prosecutors.
Among the counties in question is Broward, which emerged as the epicenter of controversy as three statewide races and three local legislative races went into recounts following the Nov. 6 elections. Republicans have pointed to embattled Broward Elections chief Brenda Snipes' record of past election gaffes in arguing that the largely Democratic country is tilted against them — perhaps fraudulently so.
We will be much better off if we bring in Iranians Venezuelans communist Chinese or some good old- fashioned Banana Republic Tin- Pot Dictators to run Florida elections for us.
They were either valid republican votes or fake dem votes that had to be hidden before the inspectors saw them.
One job, ONE JOB, and no matter how simple or well-laid-out the job would be, some people could fritz it up.
Brenda Snipes would do as badly at making licence plates as tallying and safeguarding ballots.
Just not a task-orientated person.

I’d love to be the SOE ,, such a simple and high paying position ,, the laws are simple and easy to comply with if you’re honest and you have a decent budget to get the job done right. I’m in Orlando and avoid south FL like the plague because the blue team runs everything and the “blue” attitude pervades everything.
