Other reasons to go to Florida besides fighting so every vote counts: You can
Fight a lawsuit in your swimsuit!
Stand up to The Man, then lie down and tan!
All humorous appetizers aside, I am serious about getting this message out!
I’ll keep this as short and meaningful as I can. This is my 3rd diary in the same # of days, pushing for support for Senator Nelson and Marc Elias (head lawyer for Nelson) in their efforts to count every vote in Florida!
As shown in the tweet above, Ron Klain has picked up Marc Elias’ tweets calling for HELP!!! in Florida. Nelson has unleashed a slew of suits, and his top guy, Elias, is a busy man, working for voting integrity in more states than just Florida. He seems to REALLY need help in Florida!
Washington Post: Lawsuits Mount Over Florida Recount Battle
Scott’s team is bracing for the likely prospect of a manual recount. They are planning to have at least one lawyer in each of the state’s 67 counties if a manual recount is triggered.
Scott already has lined up more than 7,500 recount volunteers. Larger concentrations of volunteers will appear in more-populous counties and areas where Republicans have pointed to issues in vote counting, including Broward and Palm Beach, according to his campaign.
Democrats say they will muster similar cavalry.
“We will easily match that number,” said Charles Lichtman, one of the lawyers working on behalf of Nelson. “I look forward to this being, you know, the ‘Game of Thrones’ final scene” — in which the Republicans lose, he added.
Lichtman said he is in charge of recruiting, training volunteers, positioning them in the right places, making sure they follow the law and “making sure every vote gets counted.”
The lawsuits are abundant.
New lawsuits Monday include one filed on behalf of VoteVets, the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee asking that all mail-in ballots postmarked by last Tuesday be counted. Under current rules, ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
I hope this informs, but also that people can go to FL and help, or contact someone who would be able to do so. If so, please DO! We know Rick Scott is doing more than shooting off his mouth to make sure he 'wins'… even if he doesn’t really win. Wouldn’t be the first time that happens. Hopefully we can make the last time it happened be the LAST time it happens!
Even if just passing this on, thanks for your contributions!
