1. They want to count all the votes in Arizona though.

Does that even things out?

Somewhere in this mess there is a smoking gun that will explain 2016 and perhaps 2000 and 2004.

2. One thing I haven't heard mentioned, at least on DU:

It is inconceivable to me that the proposition allowing for former felons in Florida to regain their right to vote was passed OVERWHELMINGLY, while the other races were so close. Are there that many Republicans interested in the rights of former felons?!

3. Exactly. Good insight. n/t

4. Almost one third of voters voted against it

Most Floridians did not favor the system that required those who had served their time to jump through hoops and ultimately have an individual or committee decide if they got their voting rights back. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, you probably know someone who has been affected by the law. The vote fell just as you would expect it to with a third of voters still wanting to keep folks from voting. I'd venture to guess that 90%+ of people who voted "no" were probably hard core racists.

5. The GOP is worried about counting every vote

6. they're afraid it might become fashionable

[ooky]

7. Nobody respects this President.

He just tweets dumb things and then they all make fun of him. Sad.

What a joke he is.
