The chaos is intentional. Period. It makes it easier to harvest ballots even after “election day”. Similar to “ranked choice voting” which intentionally favors the incumbent.

Convince me otherwise.

We either get a grip on this stuff or we will continue to suffer the consequences.

And, I saw one site that said about 2.8 million Floridians voted by mail. Obviously they’ve got the fraud under control, and they’ve got voting and the vote counting process streamlined.

In a set of major reforms enacted under Gov. Jeb Bush in 2001 and in several subsequent reform laws (including one in 2021), Florida provided common sense and reliability for its voting systems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, finally someone has something good to say about Jeb.

As for the good things to say about how Florida conducted this election, it sure shouldn’t go unnoticed that they just went through a massive hurricane too....

The only way that will happen is if they slip up and one of the good guys gets in that wasn’t supposed to.
Which might be happening right now.

The first bill the House should pass on January is the Florida Election Road Map Act.

Set standards and penalties for slow-walking the count. There’s no excuse, except fraud, to delay this count. Everyone knows that. Even the left.

They don’t “dawdle.” The delay until the required votes come in and/or they can throw out the “unacceptable” votes.

I worked the ICE machine (Dominion but has no internet connection) at my Florida precinct. I hooked up a modem to both machines and had my results sent to the county supervisor of elections by 7:45 pm. I understand we had statewide results by 9 pm.

Yep, one of the first things Governor DeSantis did when he squeaked by four years ago was clean up the decades-old democrat vote fraud centers in a few of the worst blue urban pits.

That paid off big, as we saw two days ago. In fact, Florida has a dedicated state-level election law enforcement branch now, which he created.

These problem states could well learn from Florida's example. Assuming those currently running those states are interested in fixing the fraudulent mechanisms that keep them in power. Yeah, fat chance of that.

“in states where ballots need only be postmarked (rather than delivered) by Election Day, it deliberately sets up long waits.“

This has to be the worst option for fairness and provides the most opportunity for cheating. There should not be any ballots accepted after closing of the polls on election day. If people want to mail in their ballots, they need to mail them in much earlier than the day of the election.

Don’t know if you noticed, but Florida is pretty much all red.

Why would ANY blue state follow Florida’s lead?

Yes, and yes.

I went in to vote, the woman at the first desk scans my driver’s license in a machine, computer checks to see if I’m registered and what district(s) I live in, she gives me a ballot for my district(s), I go to a cordoned off set of
stand up desks, pick one, fill in the ovals on my ballot choices, take the ballot to a counting machine, insert it under the watching eyes of a poll worker, it takes in my ballot and counts it right then.

Total time in polling place: ten minutes...................

I have lived in Floria my entire life, I’ve voted in every election since 1978.

Here in Florida the so called “vote by mail” is called Absentee voting by many Floridians.

The major difference in the way Florida does it is, you must personally request a ballot, prove who you are, and your signature is verified, then you will get a ballot that can be filled out and returned.

In other vote by mail states, every registered voter gets sent a ballot, no request by the voter is required.

The way Florida does it is vastly different than true vote by mail states and eliminates nearly all of the fraud.

If you wanted to cheat, you would have to fill out a form, verify your identity and signature, assuming you can do all that, think of how difficult it would be to create enough ballots to change an election in a state the size of Florida.

I agree.

There is no other logical explanation in year 2022 to have elections that take days and weeks.

We were supposed to have flying cars, evolved societies, and world peace by now. Instead all we got is electric fire traps, kakistocracy, globalist suppression, and elections run by utter baffoons.

But it’s no accident. You can’t hide votes if everything is clean, short and up front. Like a magician who builds up a false context and then distracts you with slight-of-hand, the real hand behind what is going on in these elections is very hidden, and not a buffoon at all. What they orchestrate is complex and on it’s face must appear chaotic. That’s all for show.

It won’t embarrass them because it is deliberate.

Where is this “Representative Democracy” claptrap the author claims the United States is supposed to be, coming from? I’ve seen this hash mentioned several times this past week in separate and unconnected articles on the internet.

We are a representative republic with a constitution. We are NOT a democracy. Of any kind. There is NOTHING in any of our founding documents alluding to the formation of a “democracy”, a faulty form of government the founders recognized as “majority or mob rule”, which they studiously avoided creating.

NO!!!

They're not buffoons. Not even remotely.

They're liars, cheats, and thieves; they know perfectly well what they're doing. It's not stupidity and incompetence, it's willful evil.
