Conservatives FREAK OUT As Florida Vote Heads Towards Recount

Giving us further evidence that every vote matters, several important races in Florida are headed towards an automatic recount due to the closeness of those races. Those include the governor’s race where Democrat Andrew Gillum is still closing the gap between Republican Ron DeSantis, and the Senate race with Bill Nelson slightly trailing Republican Rick Scott. And, as predicted, conservatives a freaking out, including Sean Hannity and Republican Senator Marco Rubio. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Well, folks, it appears that the election in Florida is actually not over yet. Ron DeSantis, the Republican who allegedly won the governor's seat along with Republican Rick Scott, who allegedly unseated Democrat Bill Nelson for the Senate there, those races are both headed for an automatic recount, because as the last few votes have come in, and we're actually still waiting on some for Broward County, as those last few votes came in, they closed the gap enough to trigger an automatic recount for those particular races, as well as another race in Florida for agriculture, but the two big ones obviously the governor's house and the Senate race.

Those are massive, massive victories if Democrats are able to pull them off with these recounts. Obviously, Republicans are taking this as well as you would expect Republicans to take it, considering the fact that they stand to lose a Senate seat and a governor's seat in one of the most important swing states in this country. This is huge news. This is great news, even though Florida really has a bad history with recounts, and considering that everything is once again hinging on Broward County down there, it's difficult to get optimistic about it, but at the same time, good things could still happen, and here's why.

First and foremost, there were plenty of ballots, not only outstanding still to be counted right now that actually could close the gap in both of those races, but there were actually plenty of ballots that for some reason, even though they had the name recognition and were huge offices, there allegedly weren't votes cast for the Senate seat. Some of them didn't have votes cast for the governor's seat, and while it is entirely possible that people just decided not to vote for those particular races, the idea of tens of thousands of people in one county not voting for one of those races is a little suspicious, so yes, the recount is a good thing because we're going to find a lot of votes that weren't originally counted by the vote scanners.

Again, Republicans are freaking out. Donald Trump has joined in their freak out, and he tweeted out the following this morning. He said, "Law enforcement is looking into another big corruption scandal having to do with election fraud in Broward and Palm Beach. Florida voted for Rick Scott." It's actually starting to appear like they didn't vote for Rick Scott, Mr. Trump. Marco Rubio tweeted out the following, "Every vote legally cast should be counted. That's the law. Have no problem with recounts. That's the law, but last early votes were cast Sunday and had to be submitted by Tuesday evening. That the law too. That the law too. Yet 48 hours after deadline, Broward County is only county still counting them." In addition to having the word count in a sentence more than I've ever had to read before, Marco Rubio's freaking out, because he had already tweeted out his congratulations to Rick Scott, "Looking forward to my new colleague. Super great bud time."
