Likewise, a duplicate ballot shall be made of a vote-by-mail ballot containing an overvoted race or a marked vote-by-mail ballot in which every race is undervoted which shall include all valid votes as determined by the canvassing board based on rules adopted by the division pursuant to s. 102.166(4).

(b) A true duplicate copy shall be made of each federal write-in absentee ballot in the presence of witnesses and substituted for the federal write-in absentee ballot.

Most likely that many people didn't notice. Considering the county and the error, those votes would have probably gone to Nelson. She may well have cost him the election.)

Attorney General Bondi should have scolded FDLE for not investigating Trump University. But that was her job. $25000 donations will speed up the process and make this go away.The laws should be followed by and enforced all Republicans,Democrats, Independents, etc. Trust the process.

This in itself is a serious violation of Fl. law, and should be enough "reasonable suspicion" to warrant a complete investigation. When you add this to the fact that ballots keep "showing up" well after the statutory Tuesday deadline for ballots to be tallied and counted. Then you have the admission that invalid ballots were mixed with valid ones and run through the tally machine. It looks like the intention was to keep counting and finding or generating new ballots until both Scott and DeSantis lost. Why would anybody that is above reproach not be encouraging a thorough investigation? @David; Snipes has broken several laws during the course of this ballot count, including standing in the door and not allowing any impartial monitors in to watch the count.

The count went down correctly to the Republican Senate and Governor winning these seats on last Tuesday night and it was the Democrats squealing like pigs because they lost. Just like Hillary did! You are right.. the Constitution did give me my right to vote and I did! Now it seems that my vote will be stolen by cheating democrats that cry when they lose! The Democrat Party has become so Socialistic and demeaning in the last ten or so years that it scares me for my grandchildren. I was a Democrat for forty years but I changed parties because of the corruption and abuse to our nation that this democrat party was bringing. I know I won't change any minds or hearts to see this damage the way I do, but neither will you change mine. Been there, done that! May God take control and lead us in the right path!!
