Trump says Florida elections should be called for Scott, DeSantis

[demmiblue]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday called for the gubernatorial and Senate elections in Florida to be called in favor of Republican candidates Ron DeSantis and Gov. Rick Scott, respectively, claiming that "an honest vote count is no longer possible."

"The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!" Trump tweeted.

Trump has accused Democrats of trying to "steal" both races.

Recounts are underway in both the gubernatorial race between DeSantis and Andrew Gillum (D) and in the Senate race between Scott and incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D). Both races remain uncalled because of the slim margins in the vote counts.

1. What he's saying is, we shouldn't count the votes.

[workinclasszero]

15. Bingo

Trump is a anti democratic fascist wannabe dictator.

And this statement alone proves it.

[madaboutharry]

2. How does anyone take this jerk seriously?

He is a heckler in the back of the room.

3. They're probably going to win anyway but that's not the point.

In a democracy, we’re supposed to count all the votes.

4. Shut up, you fetid pile of dung.

It never ends with this *rick.

[droidamus2]

5. Ridiculous and wrong

Why have elections if you won't count the votes. Besides if the election was that fouled up the solution is not just to say 'I want my side to win so let's just declare them the winners' or to not count the votes it would be to declare the election for those positions in that state null and void and hold another election with oversight from a non-partisan group to help ensure their is no cheating by anybody.

6. Orange asshole

If anyone would know about stealing or rigging an election, it would be this fuck wad.

7. So to hell with election laws.

8. " ... in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere .... " D Trump

Please Donny give one example of this happening but now I am reading stories about
all those democratic absentee ballots that got sent out too late to count* or returned
absentee ballots that were just sitting in a FL post office.

9. Trump, the man who puts the dIck into dictator. .

[Turbineguy]

10. Laws.

They're so annoying.

[The Liberal Lion]

11. Nothing about this twits tweet makes any fucking sense whatsoever

First of all, no race was called, except by the networks. That is not official. Second, even if the orange moron were correct, namely that an honest count is no longer possible, well that means a NEW election would be necessary, not just naming of an arbitrary candidate. We already knew this, but here once again trump shows just a) how much of a moron he is and b) how much he keeps pushing this country to fight amongst itself.
trump is a traitor and he is NOT the president. He is a fraud, and his authority is contrived.

12. Lol, no evidence of wrong doing, don't count the votes, the GOP way

[IronLionZion]

13. So they're really worried about losing

I figured those 2 would win anyway but if Donny and the GOP are so worried, then maybe we have a chance. Count every vote.

All votes matter

[TNNurse]

14. Fortunately he has no say in this.

[dalton99a]

16. So the president is the final arbiter of elections in the United States

Go fuck yourself, traitor

[duforsure]

17. What he's saying really is Democracy is bad

By ignoring voters ballots , and by making it harder to vote, or have it not counted, or by putting older machines in democrat area's and not nearly enough of them to ensure the process is fairly done, or allow an enemy a foreign enemy manipulate votes in our elections is ok , but a legal recount isn't? That is unpatriotic, and un-American . Is funny he wants to claim it unfair , rigged, and being stolen when he is behind all election fraud going on now in our elections, and only when his candidates face possibly losing.

18. Why do Republicans hate free and fair elections so much? nt.

[oldlibdem]

19. And the 2016 presidental election...

Should be called in favor of Hillary Clinton!

[cstanleytech]

20. If SCOTUS goes along with this bullshit our guys should restrict them as much as they legally can on

their budget in the House.
