Republicans Are Scared In Florida As Sean Hannity Calls Recount An Illegal Democrat Plot
Trump propaganda minister Sean Hannity showed how scared the regime is in Florida when he attacked the recount as an illegal Democratic plot.
Hannity said via Media Matters:
Now the margin of victory of the Florida Senate race, thats Rick Scotts race, has gone from 53,000 votes on election night to 22,000 votes. And it all seems to be coming down to one county, and that would be, now shocking, Broward County. Home of the hanging, swinging, dimpled, pimpled, you know, chad controversy in 2000 with Bush and Gore. And the board of elections is refusing to now say how many ballots remain to be counted. There are laws that theyve got to be upholding here. My sources are telling me that in fact there is now an ongoing investigation into what is happening down there and each day more votes are just appearing out of nowhere from Nelson and Gillum.

Republicans are terrified that their Florida win will turn into a loss
The consequences of an Andrew Gillum win in Florida are national and they will impact Trumps reelection campaign. A Democratic governor would make it easier to vote and knock down the suppression efforts of current Gov. Rick Scott. The lesson learned in 2008 in Florida is that when more people can vote, they do, and they overwhelmingly support Democrats.
It takes some serious stones for Hannity to try to pull a reverse Florida 2000 on Democrats. Republicans have been trying to steal elections in Florida and Georgia, and the GOP panic is doubled in Florida, but Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum unconceded, which means that the race is back on in Florida, and Republicans are terrified that when all the votes are counted, they will lose.

(82,849 posts)I think Hannity's thinking of the Bush debacle of 2000 (and come on, Florida, it's been 18 goddam years - get your act together). The Gore campaign, following Florida's election law, filed challenges to the ballot totals in three counties just before the 72 hour deadline. The Bush campaign, caught flat-footed, immediately launched a public relations attack because they missed the legal deadline to file any challenges. Luckily, the governor of Florida was the candidate's brother, and the secretary of state for Florida was the Republican candidate's statewide campaign manager. With such key personnel in the right positions, legalities were brushed aside, and the Bush campaign was allowed to contest the challenges.
Despite the proceedings being about Florida state law, the Bush campaign filed a federal court petition, which took precedence over the state court proceedings, and eventually wound up at the Supreme Court, where five justices who owed their careers to the Republican candidate's family were waiting to write some new laws without establishing a legal precedent.
Remember any of that, Sean?
