Palm Beach County couldn’t get their act together with the machine recount, so Democratic lawyer Marc Elias, who’s representing Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, is suing Palm Beach County and Florida’s secretary of state. Because of course:
BREAKING: We have sued Palm Beach County and the Florida Sec of State to require a hand count of all ballots in the county due to systematic machine failure during the machine recount.

It wasn’t a “systematic machine failure” in Palm Beach County; it was a systematic competence failure. Who in their right (or left) mind would trust Palm Beach County election officials to do a hand recount?
My, that is a funny way of writing "BREAKING: We just threw a Hail Mary due to getting busted trying explicit voter fraud"

That’s kinda what it sounds like, yeah.
Give it up dude

Just concede. This is truly an embarrassment.

Jeez..have some dignity.

The clock ran out on Florida Dems having any dignity a long time ago.
The chances a hand recount are superior to a machine recount are slim to none.
But hey, whatever. Let them do what they do. As long as there are observers, I am fine with it. https://t.co/mUduri9ikV

Update:
Oh, FFS:
BREAKING: Florida Secretary of State orders manual recount in US Senate race.
— Marc E. Elias (@marceelias) November 15, 2018
Good Lord.
The machine recounts are finished in Florida. DeSantis leads Gillum by 33,683. Scott leads Nelson by 12,603. The latter race now goes to a manual recount, with associated lawfare.

We’re pretty sure we’ve suffered enough.

Not if Florida Dems can help it, no. Not until they get what they want.
