Maybe MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy can carpool when they lead the Resistance caravan down to Florida to ensure that every vote is counted after Sen. Marco Rubio posted a thread today complaining that Broward County still doesn’t know how many ballots it has left to count.
|@marcorubio is fighting against every citizen’s vote being counted in Florida. #FloridaRecount

We’ll let Twitter rip into Scarborough in a minute, but do these tweets from Rubio make it sound like he’s trying to fight every vote from being counted? And how can there be a #FloridaRecount before Broward’s even finished the first count?
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, these two blue bins,circled in the attached picture,hold the ballots that remain to be counted in #BrowardCounty as of 4:20pm this afternoon. Almost 48 hours after the polls closed. pic.twitter.com/EJxJYxq9XG

Apparently #BrowardCounty elections left behind a box labeled “Provisional Ballots” at a local elementary school that served as a polling place.
Just let that sink in for a moment. https://t.co/o1Gn7mxOzG

This report comes from reporter at South Florida Sun-Sentinel reporting from the #BrowardElections office. https://t.co/Hy9DiIIwIh

Ooops! Looks like the 205 provisional ballots that were approved by the Broward elections office and tabulated maybe should have gone to the canvassing board first so they could be challenged by the candidates' reps. Stay tuned.

Oops!
This video,posted by an Independent Cong candidate in 18 (who was endorsed by Bernie Sanders in 16) purports to show BrowardCounty ballots being transported from polling places in private cars.
Has anyone in local media looked into this claim or asked elections dept about it? https://t.co/1JztfdRudn
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 9, 2018
Yeah, it’s Rubio screwing up the election by insisting that Broward County even pretend to seem slightly competent.
You want to see stupid people?
Look at the responses to the tweet below.
Joe is lying. There’s idiots responding to him who don’t realize it. It’s hilarious. https://t.co/34MJeKlNs5

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Broward County? https://t.co/G1kJWlbCOj
— Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) November 8, 2018
@JoeNBC He most certainly is NOT. Why have these ballots suddenly materialized? Why haven't they been counted already? Why are you advocating violating Florida law?
— Jason Nochimson (@jsnockie) November 8, 2018
Can we please talk about why absentee votes are not counted in time for the election to be over? Again?
— Heidi's Mom???? (@kmahoney534) November 8, 2018
To be fair to Broward, many of the votes in my apartment's cream soda vs. root beer election remain uncounted.

Is the default for you on every issue "Republican bad" now?

Update:
Sen. Rubio has responded:
When did I ask anyone to stop counting? And how is criticizing repeated election failures by same election official a fight to stop vote counting?
Why can’t #BrowardCounty elections do what 65 of 67 counties did, count all votes in timely way & in compliance with #Florida law? https://t.co/dtujSqotYG

Pat Joe on the head.
Do it. https://t.co/0F1Qf32SWt

Over to you, Joe.
