Trump tries to tie Florida ballot delay to Russia dossier
President Donald Trump on Friday called the delay in tallying ballots in Florida “a disgrace” and sought to tie the ongoing vote count to a conspiracy he claimed exists to undermine Republicans by Democratic operatives.
Speaking to reporters before he left for Paris, Trump slammed the holdup in Democratic-leaning Broward and Palm Beach counties that’s thrown the state’s gubernatorial and Senate races into flux. The two counties are in their third day of reporting votes, and Broward, which has a history of controversial vote-counting processes, still has not offered an estimate of the amount of outstanding provisional and absentee ballots it has yet to count.
Asked Friday if the federal government would step in, Trump said that there “could be” involvement.
“If you look at Broward, and Palm Beach to a lesser extent, if you look at Broward County, they have had a horrible history and if you look at the person, in this case the woman, involved, she has had a horrible history,” Trump said, referring to Brenda Snipes, Broward’s election supervisor who Gov. Rick Scott, the GOP Senate candidate, sued this week for access to ballot information.
