Should there be a Florida threat
Will someone intelligent please provide some analysis of Florida.

I've read here that anywhere from 90,000 to more than a million early and absentee ballots have yet to be counted.

And yet. . . at least one of the networks is calling it for shrub.

Will someone with knowledge please explain?

Orlando/I4 Corridor.

No results in yet? Somethings going on.

2. Florida will NOT be called until Nov 12 - absentee ballot malfeasance
Due to an absentee ballot screw up of criminal proportions, Florida will not be called until Nov.12.

The problem is the over a million people who requested absentee ballots well in time, but FL did not mail them out until Sat. Oct 30. There is no way people could get them, vote, and mail them back by the deadline.

The ACLU has already sued, and the news is reporting that they have WON, to allow absentee ballots until Nov. 12, which is the deadline for overseas absentee ballots.

Even Rep pundits said there is NO WAY it was acceptable or just a glitch for the ballots not to be mailed until Sat.
