The machine recount decides whether there will be a hand recount. We do not have those numbers yet to even determine if a hand recount would happen, which isespecially important because since Palm Beach did not meet the machine recount deadline— and they must, as a result by law, report the midnight Election Night report numbers (inclusive at that point of absentee ballots counted as votes). By law, the count for Palm Beach reverts to that number. And thus... unlikely (even with Broward’s screw ups) a % difference close enough to require (again by law) a hand recount in the Senator vote. Or even in the Agriculture Secretary (keeper of the Concealed Carry licensure Division).
BTW, all FReepers here— Bucher (the SOE for Palm Beach County) is blaming..... mechanical breakdown for the inability to run ballots through a scanning machine. Again, over 2 years to recognize this “antiquated” as she called it machinery and purchase new ones. This is her ONLY job... except retaining reliable fake vote machinery and workers, as she was elected to do. Even more so for the Broward “educator” “Dr.” Snipes. Sheesh. Apparatchiks. BTW also— the PB SOE “dog whistled” to the Broward SOE— essentially saying— “i can’t produce any more-— get going”.
There will be proof of blank ballots filled out (examine the way the ballots are filled out— they will have many repeat “fill in” styles that can be ID’d. Time to clean house.
