Jim, I was just raising a possibility, which I would say is quite characteristic of these politicians (both parties). Come up with an equivalent of "when did you stop beating your wife". It occurred to me simply because I noted that the rate of rejection of absentee ballots in Browar county, was 80%, in Miami-Dade 50% and in Palm beach 66%, while in Escambe (Republican) it was "only" 40%, or the average over all Florida was 30%. Since these are the three largest "Democratic counties", I thought these rejection rates were a little "high". Out of the total of 1400 ballots rejected, 600 where in these three Democratic counties combined (43%), while these three counties combined are less than 20% of all the votes cast Tuesday, Nov 7. I would say, they are crying "Wolf". As a matter of fact, I would be surprised if more than 20% of the rejected ballots were indeed military, it would ne interesting to see if they give us the partition of how many of the 1400 rejects were indeed military personnel, and is that percentage the same as the ratio of military personnel ballots received overall.
