the absentee ballots from our far-flung Floridian military personnel.

Yaknow, those folks who fought to protect our freedoms and the right to vote in the first place.

Trump will begin his attacks on any judges that rule against him very soon, and all judges in our system should take that into consideration . He wants trump justice , which is his way always, and not by the rule of law.

If Scott suffers because of it, GOOD.

Florida should work with ALL counties to:

Develop a standard statewide voting system, including counting machines. A system that can't be corrupted.

Develop a statewide ballot format

Limit amendments to no more than 5 per election.

Supply a specific number of voting stations and counting machines per X number of voters. No more games with more machines per voter in certain places, almost none in others.

Set a standard early voting number of days, start and end dates and start and end times statewide. 15 continuous early voting days ending a few days before Election Day will work.

I think as long as there are votes to be counted, we need to continue counting them.

1 Human = 1 Vote, period!!!
