Bucher Calls Recount Deadline “Impossible,” May Have To Certify Original Results
Hot Air ^ | 8:01 am on November 12, 2018 | JAZZ SHAW

A judge has ruled that the Florida election recount has to be finished by Thursday. So at least this will all be over in a few days, right? You might want to hold your horses on that one. Yesterday, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher (whose vote-counting history we’ve highlighted here before) told CNN that it was going to be “impossible” for her to meet the deadline. In a separate interview later, she went so far as to suggest that they may have to scrap the recount and just certify the original election results. (The Hill)

The Palm Beach County, Fla., elections supervisor says it is “impossible” to finish the three Florida election recounts by the Thursday deadline.

“It’s impossible,” Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher told CNN, responding to a question about whether officials would be able to finish the recount on time.

Palm Beach County is one of the most critical counties in the state, alongside Broward County.

The first round of machine recounts is supposed to be completed by Thursday, setting up a bitter fight to the finish in Florida’s races for Senate, governor and agriculture commissioner.

So why can’t Palm Beach County (and Broward) finish their work on time if 65 other counties are able to meet the deadline? Last night, Bucher told WPBF News that the delays were the fault of “archaic voting machines.”

The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2018

Florida Election Law—
https://dos.myflorida.com/media/699702/election-code.pdf

“The supervisor of elections shall verify the signature of each elector on the return mailing envelope with the signature on the elector’s registration records. Such verification may commence at any time prior to the canvass of votes. The supervisor of elections shall safely keep the ballot unopened in his or her office until the county canvassing board canvasses the vote.

(6) The canvassing board may begin the canvassing of mail ballots at 7 a.m. on the sixth day before the election, including processing the ballots through the tabulating equipment.”


Mail-In ballots can be processed through the tabulating equipment beginning on the sixth day before the election.

Early voting is processed as done.

Same day voting in Broward County is only 25% of the total vote.

Broward County has no excuses why they were unable to report the MAIL-IN and EARLY voting results 30 minutes after the polls closed on Tuesday Nov 6th.

Broward County 2016 Voting Pattern
Same day 213,112
Early 426,592
Mail-In 202,904
Provisional 1,623
TOTAL 844,231

Declare the election invalid and do a revoke in Broward County under federal supervision.

No, she's not feeling the heat.

She knows that enough legal votes have been destroyed, and then replaced with fraudulent votes in Broward County, that she can relent and say "Okay... we'll certify as of November 6th."

Gillum and Nelson win, so she played her position.

Nice reminder. But the fact is the Al Bore knew he hadn't won, he just needed to generate a protest and create the ILLUSION that he might have won had everything been counted, recounted and hand counted.

The silly less than 600 vote margin was a function of cherry picking several Democrat heavy precincts in (surprise) Broward and Palm Beach County so the margin could be trimmed from several thousand to a few hundred. Bush opted not to contest the cherry picking simply because the whole country had grown sick of it and it wouldn't change the outcome anyway.

Don't remember the author, but the book titled At Any Cost documents the entire fiasco better than anything I've ever read.

Public opinion basically turned against Gore's lawyers when they high fived each other for tossing a bunch of military ballots while then wanting to interpret/invent Gore votes with hanging chads. A deja vu was bound to happen sooner or later with THE SAME DAMN two counties still refusing to conduct elections in a professional and transparent manner some 18 years later.

Some states still have Fighting Words laws and they are unprotected by the first amendment:

I’d take it to the Supreme Court, if I had Tucker’s money.

It may be a challenging job for a few days, but it appears everyone but Broward and W. Palm can get the job done.

Are your co-workers lazy or low IQ? What explains the difference between other counties all across America getting the job done...except for Broward and a few other democrat strongholds?

If they recount now, they will probably have too many ballots. I think the police arrived in time to keep them from discarding some of what they tried to replace. Better to lose than to get exposed in a way that hurts them even more.

Good point. And perhaps some precincts with more ballots than voters.

In the south you call a man’s 19 year old daughter/sister a whore and a “cunt” same time....in public from a complete stranger

Any judge that allows this to go forward deserves to have his womenfolk treated the same way right in front of his cuck-@ss.

If it's a female judge, then she deserves "the treatment", without a single squawk from her piehole.

Not lazy or low IQ, rather it is corruption.

I was wondering about the number of ballots this morning. You would think that they know the number of registered voters and would order that number of ballots plus 1%-2% more for damage. How many ballots did Broward County order? How many people actually voted? How many ballots are left?

I agree, but the post I was responding to was claiming the task is too hard for normal them to handle.

After certification, count them anyway and investigate voter fraud.
