WTF? Gillum was within 2/10 of a percent wih 97% in. Now he's a full percent behind?

1. It's Florida

the state that always disappoints

[superpatriotman]

2. White democrats

Compare his votes to Nelson

[Hoyt]

5. That's disappointing, but likely accurate.

3. I have no doubt we can count on some of that going to worthless third party candidates, some to

voting irregularities, and some to the fact that a large segment of the population has a good number of racists and bigots.

However, their time is limited, and they know it. In fact with the changing demographics, 2020 may very well be the turning point in Florida

4. I could be fucking dead by then. n/t

[Poiuyt]

9. Take care of yourself

We need you!

[rzemanfl]

10. I am starting not to care. n/t

13. Hey, we control House. At the beginning of 2017 all the pundants were saying we would not control

any part of Congress 2018

Things are moving in the right direction, and in Florida there are a lot of worried people who can see the writing on the wall, and their time is limited

14. 10s of thousands of votes have gone to 3Rd party candidates

Once again. It never fails. I hope they are happy with a racist in charge of this state.

[still_one]

15. They don't care Third party candidates are actually anarchists. They won't admit it, but that is

the purpose they serve

[mcar]

16. Or they want the Rs to win

[still_one]

19. That is the end result, but I don't think they view it that way

17. DeSantis has a 1.07% lead

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/election-results/

Third party candidates have over 1.2% of the votes, with 0.57% going to Reform Party candidate Darcy Richardson, who used to be a Democrat. 0.30% to independent candidate Kyle Gibson, who had been both a Democrat and Republican in the past.

[rzemanfl]

18. Gillum was within .2% of the racist with 97% in at Real Clear Politics.

Third party voters can rot in hell.

[Fla_Democrat]

6. Russians?

[rzemanfl]

8. 2/10% would trigger a recount. Ivan figured it out after I did. n/t

[Amishman]

7. panhandle reports last and is extremely red

We need a solid lead in FL to make it to the finish

[NurseJackie]

11. I've heard the panhandle described as...

panhandle reports last and is extremely red

I've heard the panhandle described as South Alabama.

[In It to Win It]

20. The panhandle finished reporting before many of the other counties. Once those votes came in...

Scott and DeSantis gained the lead and haven't lost it since.

[bdamomma]

12. I think

Beto and Gillum should team up together.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

21. Wonder if things have been flipped from Russia to help Florida retain a white GOP Govenor,

ESPECIALLY since Obama was there campaigning and rebuking the increasingly overt racism, you & I both know that pootie-poo & trumpie McAsshole could NEVER let this stand...

[Awsi Dooger]

22. Gillum has been finished for hours

If a Democrat doesn't lead Florida at 8:45 then he/she doesn't win

It looked fine at 7:45. By 8:45 it was a replay of Trump/Hillary in 2016
