1. My dad said it probably won't be before Friday.

They're following a State rule that requires them to count everything.

2. HooptieWagon explained:

Less than .5% MOV triggers an automatic recount. Obama has just a little over that, but theres 10s of thousands of absentee and provisional ballots to count, which are done by hand. Those ballots are all in Miami-Dade, though, so once they're counted MOV will be above .5% and the results will be certified.

3. They are still counting.

The longer they drag it out, the more embarrassing it becomes for their Rethug state election commission. The votes uncounted are mostly Democratic ballots so it is academic, but their state's voters are already hopping mad over the long lines and precincts out of ballots. So their Medicare fraud governor isn't going to be any more popular after being the only holdout that hasn't finished their vote.

In fact, Rick Scott has exemplified the typical incompetent executive that he is. The 4th largest state cannot even administer a national election on it's dimestore state election board. I just hope the good people of Florida remember this for a long time. They deserve so much better. A special thanks to these citizens of Florida for enduring this buffoonery and the misery Rick Scott caused them.
