TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) A group of about 30 sign-holding Republican protesters gathered outside the office of Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes, singing The Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America.
As the counting of ballots resumed Friday afternoon, Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz called Snipe either incompetent or corrupt and accused her of spinning ballots out of nothing in the Senate seat between Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.
Gaetz, whose district is in Floridas Panhandle, also said the state should take over the Broward elections office.
Protesters held signs that said, Brenda Snipes has to go, stop creating votes and dont steal our election.

(6,445 posts)Gore had people in 2000 who wanted to take to the streets in support and his advisers told them to stand down. This absolutely should not happen again and let their bullshit infowars conspiracy narrative pimped by Scott and Agent Orange take hold.

Not to mention if they have a problem with how Florida elections are handled maybe they should take it up with their Goven...oh.. shit... wait.

(9,865 posts)...will get as much or more media coverage than the 1000's of people across the country who protested yesterday.
I remember how the Teabaggers during Obama's time, used to have little tiny protests and the news would report on it again and again, building up their clout.
The corporate controlled M$M controls the narrative.

It is good that many Democrats recognize the traditional Republican MO. They don't abandon their old tricks, they just get more and more evil in how they implement them.

(23,099 posts)competition. There were a bunch of these guys at the motel, drinking up and cheering when their cohorts where shown on tv pounding on the window, threatening the vote counters. We were getting drinks so I heard many different accents and asked where they all were from. These 4 were from AL, GA, KS, OK & AK. I remember it so well because of the guy from Alaska. I was like, wow this is a long way to come to protest. He told me not to worry, the Republican party paid for his plane, motel & food, all he had to do was stop the counting in any way he could. The room was totally packed with these asses, I asked if they were all the same group and he said, yeah, the Republican party is going to win this one way or another so are just flooding the zone and threatening everyone until the stopped.
A few weeks later Bush and Repug party denied this ever happened. God damn these anti-American asses. They better not stop the vote again. Just wonder what is happening in Broward county where Scott sicced LEO to stop the count. I haven't heard any news at all today about count totals, hope it's not because of election theft AGAIN!!!!!!!!! I can't stand it.
