And Palm Beach County's vote counting machines have "broken", losing a day and a half of counted votes, per Terri Parker of local WPBF25 news.

Must have read too many GOP votes, I'm sure.

Glad to see you've picked up Trump's conspiracy theory nonsense. It really suits you.

I'd say. Palm Beach County has been the leader in getting their asses kicked in court, too.

I am not being snarky, but the Republicans have been in charge of the Gov. mansion and the Secretary of State position for over 15 years. These issues didn't appear from nowhere this year. If they wanted to fix the problem why haven't they invested resources into it?

I agree on Broward County, as it certainly appears the governor got caught up in the politics of doing nothing since there'd be hell to pay for a white male Republican firing a black female Democrat. But give her history, it clearly should have happened at least after the 2016 election.

Palm Beach’s issues have been - up to this election - far less acute than Broward. This election she’s not only failed in her duties based on state law, she’s also been behaving in a far more partisan manner than Broward has been, reflected by her court beatdowns.

Wait, isn't voter fraud, miscounts, and broken machines how Trump beat Hillary?

No. I don't know many (if any) people who have argued that.

I know I never said it here or anywhere else. The election was called that night so what was even recounted in 2016?

Jill Stein called for recounts in a few states. Few, if any, Democrats, took up that cause, however, and it didn't produce any evidence of miscounts or fraud.

Never heard anymore about this, but a recount was started in Michigan by the Stein team. The Clinton team provided support to them.

I love the 538.com political chats:

natesilver (Nate Silver, editor in chief): The arguments that it ISN’T a blue wave are dumb. Can we end the chat now and get lunch?

sarahf: Haha, no. We’re here to tell readers why it’s dumb — although Nathaniel did do a pretty good job of convincing me.

Gotcha I was wondering if we were talking about something like what we have in FL now or in FL in 2000.

[Gregg]

No. I don't know many (if any) people who have argued that.

Are you speaking of Florida, Nationally, or both?
