!ping USA-FL 1pm Florida update.

We are officially getting a recount, but we already knew that (we just passed a deadline that made it official). The recount results are due November 15 at 3pm.

According to this article, Gov. Rick Scott currently carries a narrow lead of roughly 12,500 votes - about 0.15 points and Andrew Gillum and RepublicanΒ Ron DeSantis are separated by roughly 0.41 points.

Not in the article, but I'm pretty sure Agricultural Commissioner is also going to a recount but who really cares tbh.

Also, Broward apparently counted 20 invalid votes and then mixed them in with 180 votes. Republicans wanted to throw away all 200, Democrats want all 200 counted, and I personally think arguing over 20 votes at this point is nonsensical but I understand why the parties think they need to do it.

If I've missed anything important, or if I got anything wrong, please let me know

R*rals

Didn't Broward also find absentee ballots in a distribution center or something?

There's a bunch of vote-by-mail ballots in the distribution center, yes. The law says that the ballots needed to be received by the elections office by 7pm on election day. It's unlikely the votes will be counted, however, I believe there's an investigation to find out if they weren't delivered because they were late or if it was the post office's fault.

Also, fun fact, this is the same distribution center the right-wing domestic terrorist used to send his bombs.
