Is this guy checking all his chads or what?

Is that the SAME guy from 18 years ago with the 'Hanging Chad' photo we all saw from the Gore election. WTF? Dude, retire already. Give up your kush job to a Millennial.

That could be fixed & followed up on easily. Contact 26,000 who didn’t vote for Senate (bc in bottom corner), yet voted for everything else. Public shouldn’t suffer from a bad ballot design. Last Tues I almost missed 3 initiatives bc on back of ballot. Ballots should be clear.

Putting federal positions on the left side of the ballot, state positions in the middle of the ballot, and local positions on the right side of the ballot is NOT an “odd layout.”

Oh, please

Funny, with the commies in Broward will not due to steal an election,

This is a repeat problem...unacceptable. Criminal.FloridaRecount2018

Is it still vote stealing if it favors the Republicans?

This is the most ridiculous article I have ever read.

Why aren’t the systems for voting all the same in Florida? One would have Governor Scott would have done something about this ages ago.

FL learned nothing from 2000.

Strike a pose

Are the Ppl handling the voting counts imbeciles or downright CORRUPT n FLORIDA? Anybody know the definition of Insanity?

Nelson’s name was next to Scott’s name on the ballot. This is ridiculous

butterfly ballots and hanging chads, nothing to fix, it's working as it was intended.

Don't lie. There was nothing confusing about it. English and Spanish and the voter just had to fill in an oval-shaped space to choose.

In short, signatures are not matching. (So what does that mean?) possibly people illegally filling out ballots. Summary: Media trying to put a good face on this.

Well if these Broward county voters are too dumb to know there is a senate election, what does that tell you? Darwin comes to mind 😂😂😂😂

Before it’s “odd” we must determine how it came to be confusing. We seen this before with a Republican Governor.

Was not Fl the state that gave us GW Bush in place of Al Gore- ?with his consent of course

I’m so annoyed by this

The Latest: US Sen. Nelson concedes to Florida Gov. ScottTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on Florida's election recount (all times local): 3:05 p.m. Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson has ended his bitterly close re-election bid by conceding the race to Republican Rick Scott. Nelson gave up the fight Sunday to Florida's outgoing governor on a day when Florida's counties had to submit their official results. Those results showed that the three-term incumbent trailed Scott by more than 10,000 votes. Nelson's concession capped tumultuous days of recounting and political tension in the perennial presidential swing state. It also will likely end the long-running political career of the 76-year-old Nelson. He was first elected to Congress nearly 40 years ago and then to the Senate in 2000. Nelson and Democrats had filed several lawsuits over the recount, but a federal judge rejected most of them. Florida will not officially certify the final totals until Tuesday. Cheaters never prosper... Remember when Rick Scott illegally purged voters as governor? I’m sure that didn’t hurt his chances.

Democrat Nelson concedes Florida Senate race, according to rival ScottNelson's path to victory was cut off earlier Sunday when the results of a hand recount of the state's votes left Scott, the state's two-term governor, with a 10,033-vote advantage. Be sure to ship in a bunch more votes filled in elsewhere. It's disappointing that Florida would debase itself like this and put Rick Scott into the Senate. There's something fundamentally wrong with their electorate. No matter, the GOP will now be held accountable. Finally. If there is proof of voter fraud Scott must be impeached and a new special election must take place. Ditto regarding DeSantis as well.
