Bottom Line in Florida: Broward County Election Officials Have Been Violating the Law

By now, you know that Republicans are raising the alarm over what's happening in Florida, as the margins apparent election night GOP victories -- punctuated by Democratic concessions -- are being whittled down in a heavily blue county. As expected, Democrats are falsely accusing the GOP of wanting to stop the process of counting votes. Republicans counter by raising a top Broward County election official's known history of malfeasance and incompetence, aggressively accusing the opposition party of try to steal an election, noting that the county has "discovered" tens of thousands of votes since election day, refusing to say how many more there are, or where they've been. Some of this may be dismissed as partisan shouting over the dramatic denouement of yet another tight Florida contest. But it's important to understand that overwhelmingly liberal Broward and Palm Beach Counties have been in ongoing violation of election law. That is the central issue here:

“If they do, then they need to make sure this is the last election we have this problem.”

...that shoulda happened in 2000. 18 years later it’s worse than ever. At least it’s not a surprise.

I think that if you are going to commit fraud, you make sure the job gets done. I would not bet the farm.

101.6952 Vote-by-mail ballots for absent uniformed services and overseas voters.—

At this point, I think the State should take over the supervision of statewide elections in those two counties.

The count changed again .
The last count I saw was Desantis at 38,000and Scott at 18,000.
Where did you find your count ?

The dems are out of altitude and airspace.

If you are going to push the envelope, you had better know the capabilities and limitations of your chosen aircraft.

Otherwise...smoking hole in the ground.

I’m with you. At this point all I can do is hope and pray.

We MUST STOP VOTE FRAUD!!

We can't keep curling up in the corner every time they call us 'racist' for demanding voter ID.

There are ZERO examples of voter suppression due to a requirement for Voter ID.

[ScottinVA]

Indeed.

Well, that is at least some good news!

101.5614 Canvass of returns.— (1)As soon as the polls are closed, the election board shall secure the voting devices against further voting. The election board shall thereafter, in the presence of members of the public desiring to witness the proceedings, verify the number of voted ballots, unused ballots, provisional ballots, and spoiled ballots to ascertain whether such number corresponds with the number of ballots issued by the supervisor. If there is a difference, this fact shall be reported in writing to the county canvassing board with the reasons therefor if known. The total number of voted ballots shall be entered on the forms provided. The proceedings of the election board at the precinct after the polls have closed shall be open to the public; however, no person except a member of the election board shall touch any ballot or ballot container or interfere with or obstruct the orderly count of the ballots. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100-0199/0101/Sections/0101.5614.html

Based on this explanation, it boggles the mind how they can add extra ballots and get away with it. If each polling place is given a certain amount of ballots, then, any extra, have to be explained.

Go Pennsylvania way. Vote Election Day and absentee ballots are rare. Why a red state went so easy on helping fraud is amazing. Get rid of early voting and absentee for military only. Elections are every two years. Clearly people can plan to vote that day. Too bad if you scheduled a cruise. Tough if you are a snowbird. No more liberal rules for voting.

[Roccus]

There is no way I can see that Florida's overwhelming Republican-controlled state government will allow this to stand.

After all, they've done such a good job in making sure that the election would go smoothly and that all rules and laws would be followed. The nonfeasence/misfeasence of the Republican party is out there for all to see, would that they only open their eyes.

LOL!! I still have my “Sore Loserman” bumper sticker from back then!!

Perhaps:

Stare decisis is a doctrine, or an instruction, used in all court cases and with all legal issues. Stare decisis means that courts look to past, similar issues to guide their decisions. These past decisions are known as precedent. Precedent is a legal principle, or a rule, that is created by a higher court decision.
