Who’s ready for the Florida recount drama to get even stupider?

Because it’s happening…
Omarosa, it seems, is now a Florida resident and proudly voted early, saying it “was a breeze”:

Narrator: It was not a breeze.
Omarosa, according to reports, had her ballot thrown out because she had not registered by the October 9 deadline:
Heard inside the canvassing board room in Duval County as they review provisional ballots: "Omarosa Newman. Registered late." — Yes, THAT Omarosa.
@TenikkaANJax reached out to her about it. Next at 6 @ActionNewsJax, how the former White House staffer reacted #Florida #recount— Lorena Inclán (@LorenaANjax) November 8, 2018
She claims she did register to vote on time, however, and has now hired an attorney:
I talked to @OMAROSA who says she’s fighting for her vote to count in Duval County #Florida. @ActionNewsJax was there as her provisional ballot was not counted due to late registration. Omarosa tells me she registered to vote on Oct 9 at DMV. She’s now working with local attorney pic.twitter.com/SmW5nqygDT

#Omarosa told me she went to clear up registration issue with her address in-person & showed proof that she registered by the deadline. She says she was given a provisional ballot and voted on Oct 30. She says she will fight for her vote to count. #Florida #Election2018 #ballot

.@OMAROSA says she is currently out of the country for a lecture in England, but tells @ActionNewsJax if not she would've gone to the office in-person to submit her own affidavit. Instead, worked with a Jacksonville attorney to get affidavit submitted before today's 5pm deadline
