Florida will NOT be called until Nov 12 - absentee ballot malfeasance

[NAO]

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.

10. Question: if a person got their absentee ballot late, wouldn't they

know enough to physically GO TO THE POLLS instead of mailing it back in? Those that can, I mean.

11. If you had a ballot mailed to you

they would turn you away at the polls...
