Looking almost certain that Florida is heading for a hand recount. Hope you guys are ready for weeks of this poo poo. Totally worth it if Nelson and/or Gillum make it. Hell, even getting Nikki Fried into the Agriculture job would be huge. Not getting my hopes up, but I'm glad it's not over. Edit: also if you know anyone in Florida who submitted a provisional ballot tell them to make loving sure they've ratified it by 5pm today.

cheetah7071 posted:What exactly happens during a machine recount that you believe the second time is more accurate than the first? Or is it just that if the result changes, that indicates you need a hand recount to figure it out? Machine recount probably won't change poo poo, it's about getting to hand recount and being able to actually open up the ballots and inspecting them to see if they were legally tossed out.

Handsome Ralph posted:A machine recount wouldn't do much, but a hand recount would allow Dem lawyers to contest any votes that were omitted or thrown out for whatever reason. Nelson's recount lawyer seems to be extremely confident that there's enough votes. Obviously he's got a horse here, but there's no gain for him running his mouth. Not getting my hopes up, especially if this gets litigated all the way up to the Supreme Court, but if it makes Republicans sweat, I'm all for it.

I don't know, short term I feel like a progressive Dem Governor would have a much more meaningful and direct impact on the lives of Floridians than an uninspiring white dude getting outvoted during two years. I get that the long game on retaking the Senate is super important, but Gillum is an inspiring dude who would probably significantly mobilize the African American community and progressives at large in 2020.

xeria posted:I really, really wanted to have Gillum as the governor, but the most realistic scenario seems to be that Nelson might be able to edge Skeletor in a thorough hand recount while Gillum probably wouldn't make up the ground necessary (and seems to still be outside the threshold to force a hand recount himself) to flip the governorship. If we have to choose one, then I'd choose the one that has the best shot of happening. Oh yeah, definitely agree that the recount needs to focus on Nelson but in a world where I could choose one or the other to win their bid, I'd choose Gillum.

Honestly if the net result is that republicans waste more money on a candidate that's gonna lose, then fundraise away. I'm kidding, it's garbage and undermines trust in the democratic system
