BREAKING: Judge’s Ruling Adds Thousands More Votes In Florida Recount
The Revolutionary Act ^ | 11/15/18

Posted on 11/15/2018 6:29:13 AM PST by Liberty7732

In a victory for the campaign hopes of U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a federal judge has ordered all of Florida’s elections officials to give nearly 4,000 voters — or more than, no one is sure — whose ballots were rejected over mismatched signatures until Saturday to fix the problem and for their votes to count.

Judge Mark Walker ruled early today that apparently all of the state’s elections offices have wrongly, or unconstitutionally, applied the state law governing how voters can fix rejected signatures on absentee and provisional ballots. There were a known 3,700 ballots rejected in the Midterm election after canvassing boards determined that the signature on a mail-in or provisional ballot did not match the signature the state had on file for that voter.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson’s campaign sued last week to invalidate the signature rejection process, amid a series of lawsuits attempting to change Florida voting laws through the courts and push more votes into the final tallies.

Judge Walker issued a 34-page order granting a temporary injunction at the request of the Nelson campaign, and directed the state’s supervisors of elections to gives these voters until 5 p.m. Saturday to “cure” the problem.

The law had given voters had until the day before the election to fix the signature issue. So this ruling does change state law for this election, as it allows votes to be counted after the law said they cannot be.

If these are all Democrat votes, and most of them likely will be, they alone would not be enough to flip the two major elections. But they would get it closer.

In the Senate race, Republican Gov. Rick Scott is leading Nelson by 12,562 votes, or 0.15 percent. In the Governor’s race, Republican Ron DeSantis is up 0.41 percent, or 33,684 votes, on Democrat Andrew Gillum.

However, and this is a really big caveat, it isn’t really known the total number of ballots that were rejected or mismatched signatures. Only 45 of Florida’s 67 counties had provided totals to the court on mismatched signatures during Walker’s hearing on the lawsuit last week. So it will likely be higher, but how much higher, no one knows.

Scott’s campaign is appealing Walker’s order. But that does not seem likely to change anything at this point.

Further, Judge Walker is scheduled to hear more lawsuits, including a challenge by Nelson to the state’s procedures for counting overvotes and undervotes. The Nelson campaign is confident they will close the gap through the overvote and undervote process, and more so if they can change the process.

The Nelson campaign is also suing to extend today’s deadline for Florida’s elections supervisors to get their recount totals to Tallahassee.

Or is he just ignoring the established law?


Not ignoring it. Rather, He went to a joke shop and got a huge rubber stamp that says “Unconstitutional!”, and whenever a democrat wants him to reverse a law he just gives it that stamp and they all have a beer.

Trust me, they have already been dumped into the pit for recounting. Democrats have no credibility or integrity.

Keep in mind, this is happening in a State that has voter I.D. This is definitely a testing ground for 2020. How can we possibly stop the democrats in their destruction of our Republic?

GATHER ROUND, CHILDREN----HERE'S YOUR CIVICS LESSON FOR TODAY

In what they touted as a blue wave year, not only did our genius Florida Democrats

<><> bungle bigly (read "set to lose") 4 of 5 statewide elections

<><> but they lost all 5 Congressional races that were in the “leans Republican” category.

Striking a victory pose.

LESSON OF THE DAY: the (cough) beloved eternal president Obama lent his adored presence to campaign for Gillum and Nelson.
Democrats figured that meant a sure win. Obama is their anointed savior, isnt't he? It's just that not everybody sees the Halfrican in the same light.

So when a shady character like Gillum, whines about "counting every vote"....you know he's been colluding and conspiring with Snipes.
There's a stash of forged fraudulent votes planted somewhere..... just enough to put him over the top.

What’s really evident here-——SOE Brenda Snipes was caught flat-footed, poor baby. She didnt have enough of the
usual fake and forged ballots stashed away to overcome the actual voting.
Lulled into complacency after the (cough) adored, eternal president campaigned for the Dummies.

Poor trusting Democrats, they were unprepared for the high vote counts Republicans got. Still living the "close-call" Gore days, I guess.

So when Snipes is shown the door, it will be NOT REPUBLICANS, but disgruntled Democrats slamming the door on her fat behind as she exits.

Sigh, why bother with state laws. All we need are Lord High Judicial tyrants. The politicization of the Judiciary has changed the three originally coequal branches of government into the supremacy of one over the other two and all of us.

“Judges inventing something different will just by overturned.”

And by the time is does it will be too late. No election stolen by the Rats has ever been reversed. If they force in enough BS votes to put Nelson over the top it’s over. There is 0 chance it will be undone.

He just ignoring the established law..........

They showed some of the rejects on TV last night. The signatures were totally different and in one case was just a scribbled line that was not even a word, like it was done ‘in a hurry’ like celebs do autographs.....................

So, what if they go looking for the “signatures don’t match” folks, and most of them don’t even live in Florida? BC if they didn’t match close enough to be counted the first time, I suspect that they are frauds. Then, the judges have to say there IS evidence of fraud, though “justice is blind” when Democrat judges can’t see the obvious.

If we don’t fix this cheating folks, our freedom is DONE!

Whenever I see Nelson on television, there is something about his eyes. It’s as if a demon with fiery eyes has appeared on my screen.

The testing ground is in Arizona, Texas, Montana, Nevada, California. And the RATS have not been stopped.

This needs to go to the Supreme Court. Even a simpleton can understand signatures must match or the vote is null and void. Well; either a simpleton or a corrupt judge which is what happened here.
