Schumer Urges Florida to Ignore Ballot Deadlines
National Review ^ | November 13, 2018 6:32 PM | Mairead McArdle

Senator Chuck Schumer on Tuesday encouraged Florida to blow off fast-approaching deadlines to submit vote totals for the Senate race where Republican Rick Scott leads incumbent Democratic senator Bill Nelson by a tiny margin.

“The more time that passes since election day, the better things keep looking for Democrats,” Schumer said at a joint press conference with Nelson in Washington, D.C.

“Supervisors of the elections should have all the time they need to count every Floridan’s ballot,” the Senate minority leader said. “Even if the vote count has to go beyond Sunday.”

Schumer said the deadlines should be ignored since the Senate race does not have an electoral vote in Congress scheduled for December as the 2000 presidential race did when it underwent a recount in Florida.

“We will not have a rerun of 2000, when bullying and intimidation ruled and created a rush to judgement that, to this day, many Americans believe that election was unfairly decided,” Schumer said. “That cannot happen again.”

The Florida governor has a mere 12,562 more votes than Nelson according to the current count.

Unlimited time to count votes means unlimited time to fabricate them.

The RATS keep cheating and getting away with murdering our democratic republic—and the GOP just sits idly by and doesn’t do a damn thing to stop them!!!

After President Trump, I doubt I will ever vote again!!!

Laws NEVER matter, in any way to Democrats...they consider Marxism to be a higher calling that negates ALL laws.

Restated: Schumer urges Florida to violate Florida law. Of course that is no different than Obama appointed judges ignoring the law and changing the laws requirements.

Isn’t there one single Democrat somewhere in this country, any where in this country that is the slightest upset about this travesty? Incredible that this is going on.

If they can pull off this fraud like they did in Minnesota for that Franken jackass, then I’m extremely worried about what they’ll have up their sleeves in 2020.

This is probably just practice for what’s coming in 2020. Will the Stupid Party be ready for it?

“Supervisors of the elections should have all the time they need to count every Floridan’s ballot, legally cast or not,” the Senate minority leader said. “Even if the vote count has to go beyond 2027.”

Schumer should recuse himself from leadership for saying unconstitutional things.

Sen. Schumer to the State of Florida...”you have no right to pass laws in your state regulating elections. They must be subordinate to the will of the Democratic Party”.

Of course time is on the Dems' side - they keep manufacturing votes. Why have an election day? Why have elections at all? Just let the Dems pick their candidates and declare themselves winners. That would make Chuckie happy I'm sure.

But Schmuckie should realize how dangerous this game is they're playing.
