That article is hilarious. If anyone watched what was going on live, they know that that article, and that point of view is a joke. The people that were actually IN the building in Miami, were republican observers, in suits, and were not anywhere near being a "MOB". Secondly, they were hoping to stop the three democrats from going into a room by themselves, and "divining" voter intent, without anyone to see what they were doing. I would hope EVERY American would do the same thing, and I am proud that those actions stopped those people from manufacturing votes in secret. The cuban americans that are spoken of in the article, were OUTSIDE the building, and could not even be heard inside the building. There were a large amount of protestors outside in Broward County, and that never stopped that count. Is the article, and the Democrats insinuating that we should not be allowed to protest in this country???? I think they have selected views on this freedom. It's okay for Jesse Jackson, and people with democrat view points to protest, but not those with republican view points.
The hand count in Miami-Dade was stopped for the simple reason that they could not finish the recount on time. Which was justified, since Palm Beach couldn't even make the deadline, and they are smaller, and started sooner.
If you want to talk about intimidation, look at the democrat party in Miami. At first, the Miami-Dade board voted against a hand recount, but were pressured by the democrat party in that city to begin one.
