DEMS/ELECTION/GOP/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VOTER FRAUD: “President Donald Trump fired off a series of agitated tweets on Friday [11-9-18] about the looming Florida recount, alleging ‘election theft’ in the Senate race and suggesting without evidence that Democrats were falsifying votes to undermine GOP candidates. Trump’s unloading began Friday morning as he spoke to reporters while leaving for Paris. He slammed the hold-up in Democratic-leaning Broward and Palm Beach counties that has thrown the state’s gubernatorial and Senate races into flux. The two counties are in their third day of reporting votes, and Broward, which has a history of controversial vote-counting processes, still has not offered an estimate of the amount of outstanding provisional and absentee ballots it has yet to count. As Trump prepared to board the transatlantic flight, he told reporters that there ‘could be’ intervention by the federal government. Florida’s Senate race between Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, as well as its governors’ race and a race for state agriculture commissioner, are now within close enough margins to trigger an automatic recount under Florida election laws, due to lagging vote counts being reported by those two counties.”
