Florida?

[question everything]

Thus, Trump "returned" to Florida where he was anointed, or something.

Except: 161,000 Floridians wrote names like Mickey Mouse on their ballots. Donny's margin of victory over Hillary: 113,000.

It would be funny if it were not sad.

1. Where did you get that figure? n/t

[question everything]

4. It was mentioned in TIME "accoridng to a recent report from state officials"

but I found a reference

Beyoncé, Tim Tebow or the Norse god Thor for prez? Those were some of Florida's more unusual picks for president this past election.

And the number of Florida voters who didn't cast a vote for either Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or any other valid contender spiked in 2016, apparently in protest over the ballot choices.

A report released by state officials Wednesday showed more than 161,000 Florida voters who took part in the elections either at the polls or by mail didn't cast a valid vote for president.

The "non-valid votes" include those who wrote in such names as Mickey Mouse or Bernie Sanders and others who simply left the ballot blank. It also includes those who voted for more than one candidate.

All told, the invalid ballots outnumbered Republican Trump's margin of victory over Democrat Clinton of nearly 113,000 votes to clinch Florida's 29 electoral votes.

8. Thank you. I see the number you cited includes under and overvotes in addition to write-in

votes. The wasted third party votes also exceeded the margin between Hillary and Orange Julius Caesar. You'd think people would have learned from 2000.

2. I honestly think he filed for re-election again already was just to slow the hounds down.

He thinks he can out-run them, at this point. I really don't think it would stymie investigative efforts any, but he might. All this bluster and stuff down there is just to create the "illusion" of a reality that just isn't there.

3. I thought Hillary won the pop vote by 3 million votes...n/t

[question everything]

5. 3 million nation wide. In Florida the margin was 113,000, see reference above

And I think that in both Michigan and Wisconsin third party candidates got more votes than the margin the Mr. T got.
