senate and ag commissioner; governors race didn't move much after the machine vote totals came in though there are about 4000 provisional ballots and an unknown number of overseas ballots to be counted

Approval voting seems straight up inferior to ranked choice voting, to be honest. A candidate that the majority of the population wants to win can be denied office just by enough of the opposition party throwing in a vote for the winning party's 2nd choice. Every politician would be Mike Bloomberg.

From what I've been hearing, it's a woman claiming to be his girlfriend. The "claiming to be" is what makes it extra-suspicious.

How much did bouncing out Broward County screw over the Democrats? It sounds like there was a difference in about 2000 votes from the machine count.

quote:

D’Alessandro blamed his late submission on his unfamiliarity with the state’s website.

D’Alessandro also said there was a 2,040 vote difference between the votes in the manual recount and those tabulated earlier.

Maybe my expectations are too high, but basic competence seems to be really lacking in the most important parts of Florida.

Lot going on in here, but this passage has to be my favorite:

quote:

And it’s not as if Favreau, Lovett and Vietor didn’t know who it was they were boosting. From 2007 to 2009, Miller was a communications strategist at the D.C. public affairs firm Berman and Company, where he also worked as a spokesperson for the Employment Policies Institute, which put out this highly misleading ACORN attack ad. ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, advocated for the poor, helped families navigate federal aid programs and registered people to vote — until it was brought down by Republican strategists like Miller, working alongside less respectable ratfuckers like James O’Keefe of Project Veritas. According to ProPublica, the Employment Policies Institute also “produced numerous reports arguing that boosting the minimum wage hurts teen workers and frustrates job creation.” The folks who write the white papers are just ratfuckers who carry briefcases.
