In the 2016 Election I was winning by so much in Florida that Broward County, which was very late with vote tabulation and probably getting ready to do a number, couldnt do it because not enough people live in Broward for them to falsify a victory!

(23,061 posts)The undervotes on the presidency were enormous, like 1000% above normal in Broward County & Palm Beach. The undervotes were also statistically stratospheric in another state, one of the rust bucket states, don't remember which, but think it was urban areas of PA or urban areas in MI. if they (Russia or Russian Repugs) cheated this time the same way, and it looks possible from the currently abnormal undervotes, a hand count might discover that? Maybe this time the blue wave overwhelmed their efforts at cheating, and they will get caught?

BTW You might be talking about Michigan where 80,000 voters in Detroit and Flint
showed and voted but skipped voting for President. (Allegedly)

(14,565 posts)Those old standards no longer apply in Florida. Not even close. Steve Schale the Florida expert has been tripped up by that in 2016 and 2018. He thought Florida looked good both times then went silent on twitter on election night once he realized otherwise.
Republicans are winning election day turnout in Florida by percentages far above the pre-2016 numbers. They are also winning rural counties by previously unheard of numbers.
When Lawrence O'Donnell was chirping about Florida being impossible for Trump in 2016 based on early voting, he was using those old passe numbers and projections.
Florida is hardly Nevada, where Jon Ralston owns immense margin for error after early voting numbers, because Clark County overwhelms everything else in the state combined. Ralston's estimates were wrong in 2016 but Hillary still held on.
In Florida there are sufficient numbers everywhere to make a pivotal difference. That's why it is such a tough state to poll and tough state to be confident in.
