(290 posts)Kornwacki is saying the polls are all over the place but won't mention that Ron DeathSentence is a fucking crook who's ready to do whatever it takes to screw us out of the rightful results.

(7,627 posts)there is only so much shit they can get away with. Actually manipulating votes is not one of them. Instead they try to disqualify voters, make it harder for minorities to vote and slow down vote by mail.

(290 posts)Not counting Florida on my board in an otherwise great night for Biden. The Gillium and Nelson "losses" STUNK to high heaven,

(11,949 posts)Gillum(not Gillium) was a bad candidate. And Nelson did nothing. Hardly campaigned.
Gillum embraced Bernie and he sank from that point. He thought he needed it to win the primary. Which in the end he did not. And the Shit Show he has become since then makes all the innuendo around his time as Tallahassee mayor seem plausible. And he still came within 20K of winning. Had we nominated the more moderate Gwen Graham she would be governor. Florida Democrats learned a lot in that race.
Obama won here both times. We use paper ballots. African Americans are the base of our party here.
If it is Bush/Gore tight we could get screwed. But if Biden wins by .5 percent or more he wins. And he will.

(11,098 posts)Are you suggesting that people in Florida need not vote?
NorthOf270
(290 posts)They shouldn't leave the line. EVER,
Not really sure how you came up with that. I mean really.
TomSlick
(11,098 posts)You seemed to be saying that all was lost in Florida because the GOP was manipulating the vote.
Now is not the time for hand-wringing. Now is the time to GET OUT THE VOTE.

(11,949 posts)Somehow Obama won here both times. I guess the republicans decided not manipulate the polls then?
