Election Day 2018

At the same time, Democrat Nikki Fried took the lead over Republican Matt Caldwell by 575 votes in the race for agriculture commissioner, which is also headed to a manual recount.
Gillum trailed DeSantis by less than 39,000 votes, or 0.47 percentage points. A recount is automatically triggered if the margin drops below 0.5 points.
In the Senate race, Nelson trailed Scott by about 17,000 votes, a margin of 0.22 points. A hand recount of ballots, longer and more thorough than a machine recount, is triggered if the margin falls below 0.25 points.

“I think it’s fair to say right now the results of the 2018 Senate election are unknown, and [media] and elections officials should treat it as such,” Elias said, adding anyone who cast a provisional ballot should confirm their votes with their county elections office.
But Scott campaign spokesman Chris Hartline called Elias a “hired gun” and added, “for Bill Nelson, the task is getting the ‘win’ …no matter what. Let's be clear: When Elias says ‘win,’ he means ‘steal.’ It is sad and embarrassing that Bill Nelson would resort to these low tactics after the voters have clearly spoken.”

For Rick Scott counting the votes is stealing the election.

Not sure in FL. Here is a list that includes counties with uncounted mail, early, or provisional ballots.

The big thing is Broward (Ft. Lauderdale) hasn't finished counting either group. Very few counties have finished counting provisional ballots.

Gillum has hired Bush's 2000 FL recount attorney.

My view of Tuesday's results would significantly change if Sinema and Nelson end up winning. I had read something similar to what Avalon posted, and it sounds like Sinema still has a serious shot at pulling it out. Isn't Broward mostly Dem?

I'm at peace with Tuesday's results after getting some of the later returns like McBath in GA6. Listening to Pod Save America today helped too. This was clearly a win even if the most high profile races in red states were close.

Broward is heavily Dem. It went 68% for Gillum. He's down 39K. There was a big push for Dems to vote by mail so there could be plenty of outstanding votes.
 
The congressional vote was D +9.2 compared to R +7 in 94 and 2010. The only thing that saves Republicans is gerrymandering and a very favorable senate map.

Most Americans don't support them, as shown by the fact that they have only one the popular vote in one presidential election since Bush Sr. And its getting worse for them.
 
 
Apparently not only do Broward County and Palm Beach County have EARLY voting but both counties have LATE voting as well.

Would these ballots have magically appeared almost 48 hours after the polls closed if Gillum and Nelson were declared victors on election night?

What a joke.

another republican who thinks actual democracy is a conspiracy against republicans
 
The ballots wouldn't have needed to magically appear after the polls closed if Gillum and Nelson were declared victors because the ballots would have been there on time had that been the case.

Seems to be easier for conservatives to believe that the Democrats are trying to rig elections since they've been supportive of the GOP effort to do so from the outset.
 
See the quote from Rick Scott's lawyer where he thinks counting votes is stealing the election.

Republicans don't want democracy. They just want any system that keeps them in power.

People like Brad are so dumb they don't realize that votes are still being counted all over the country. We just know that for the vast majority of races the uncounted votes won't change what we saw on Tuesday night. Election Day is the deadline for submitting ballots. It's not the deadline for counting them.
