Don't you know? Haven't you heard about the vast right-wing conspiracy?

Neither the Florida statewide election board nor the secretary of state's office provided any guidance to these troubled counties, faced with a three-day timeline to hand recount 400,000 to 650,000 ballots, this in the face of Florida law which provided a candidate has a right to a recount if it's demonstrated the recount would change the results of the election. You see, that's the problem. And ALL OF YOU know it. A fair recount would have changed the results of the election. Anyway, you think Palm Beach County canvassing board member Carol Roberts was the only board member who received death threats? I doubt it. Think. Those poor folks at Miami-Dade. Who knows what kinds of phone calls those canvassing board members were getting, the level of concern they held for their families; the impossible test of meeting a deadline prescribed by law which was impossible to meet and pressure from authorities above--Ambassador-elect Harris, et. al.--to get premature vote tallies in. The out-of-state Republicans who mobbed and charged the Miami-Dade Couanty administrative offices of the canvassing board was an intended and calculated attempt to produce the disruptive effect it did. Shortly, thereafter, the Miami-Dade canvassing board caved in to the GOPwinger pressures. Sad. But true. I think, like in the past Mimai mayoral race, the results of Miami-Dade County will have to be counted in the court, free of GOPwinger mob disruption and unfair standards promulgated by Ambassador-elect Harris, et. al.
