Trump urges end to Florida recount, Democrats seek extension

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday urged Florida election officials to abandon recount efforts and declare his fellow Republicans the winners of disputed races there at last week’s midterm elections, while Democrats filed a lawsuit to challenge the state’s deadline on mail-in ballots.

As Florida officials scrambled to review more than eight million ballots by Thursday, Trump, without providing evidence, cast doubt on the recount process required by state law in close elections.

Leads by the Republican candidates in the races for a seat in the U.S. Senate and for the governor’s office shrank as more ballots were tallied following last Tuesday’s election.

Trump called for an end to the recount even though state rules allow election officials to wait 10 days for absentee ballots submitted by registered voters living outside the United States, including active-duty military personnel.

1. So, Trump wants to control the outcome of the Florida elections..That is... not allow

the counters to count all the votes..Is that correct? Trump has stepped over the line, on top of the line, and beyond......"abandon recount efforts and declare his fellow Republicans the winners."

Can't he just shut the fuck up and let this evolve..??

4. Trump can whine all he wants

It will have ZERO impact on the actual recount. He is powerless; he can't do anything other than tweet away.
