The State of Florida has found no evidence of fraud or criminal activity in Broward County’s ongoing efforts to tally the votes cast during this year’s midterm elections.

According to the Miami Herald, election monitors dispatched by the Florida Department of Elections dismissed the conspiracy theory being promoted by Florida Governor Rick Scott and President Donald Trump as well as several other congressional Republicans and conservative commentators.

Sarah Revell, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Elections (DOE), told the Herald on Saturday morning that allegations of fraud concerning the vote count were currently unfounded. “Our staff has seen no evidence of criminal activity at this time,” she said.

The determination–and who it comes from–is notable because of the highly partisan atmosphere and accusations at play in Florida’s razor-edge Senate race where Scott leads by an ever-decreasing 15,000 or so votes. Florida’s DOE operates directly under the authority of Florida’s Republican Secretary of State, Ken Detzner.

1. Not sure I trust the DOE in Florida

I remember Katherine Harris in 2000. Will never forget.

2. "She's simply incompetent."...

Snipes is not someone who would manufacture boxes of ballots to throw an election.

She’s simply incompetent.

She has a track record of mistakes and failing to own up to them.

She’s long been willing to settle for coming in last in reporting elections results.

3. Just apply the standard implied disclaimer there

Ie "except for the actual evidence of actual criminal activity "

Whenever I read that kind of absolute in a political context, it makes more sense if I remember to add that "except for the exact thing we just said we didn't do, that we actually did do"

If that makes any sense?

4. I wonder if interfering in the conduct of an election could be prosecuted

against protesters inciting violence?

5. And the Red Queen said,

you have better eyesight than me because I can't see no evidence. Picky, picky, picky. has not found any evidence

[YOHABLO]

6. "no evidence of fraud or criminal activity" interpret that to mean, yes there is!

It's Florida folks. Florida.

That Broward County is fraudulently adding votes for Nelson and Gillum assisted by Brenda Snipes ? Fortunately, the Dept of Elections ruled otherwise
