Watch Rick Scott Aide Respond To Broward County Meltdown | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

In a surprising turn, recount results from Florida’s Broward County will not be considered, because the numbers were submitted 2 minutes past the deadline. Instead, the original vote totals will be the new baseline as the manual recount proceeds. Ari Melber presses a Senior Adviser for Republican Rick Scott’s campaign, on his allegation that the missed deadline was politically motivated.

Watch Rick Scott Aide Respond To Broward County Meltdown | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

This is ridiculous! The people's votes should not be omitted based upon an arbitrary deadline especially when it's two minutes late. Florida is more concerned with rules than the actual voices of the people.

[DYNAMITE]

Rick Scott, “stop counting all the votes!!!” Also Rick Scott “ we need to count all the votes!!!”

[kimberlys]

Floridians actually *hate Rick Scott*
He's throwing a tantrum now and we hate him for it.

[bobbybabylon]

WOW WHAT A SHITHOLE COUNTRY WITH UNFAIR ELECTIONS

[clovisthewicked]

Sometimes the dog does eat your homework

[dr.christopherdiaz]

I see guys in suits the way other people see guys in baggy jeans and parkas.

[markandcathynickerson]

And Rick Scott was supported by a significant number of Florida fools. Where was Rick Scott? Why didn't he fix this?

[jamiekirkpatrick]

Scott has been Governor. He had all of this tie to fix this!

[grogery]

It is refreshing to hear questions like "do you have any evidence to support this?"
It makes the drivel that usually follows so entertaining

[nazariog.]

Wait, the machines don't work and overheat?? Who is the governor of Flori... Nevermind!!!

[soniasantiago]

wait I heard that rick scott has always cheated so why is Ari letting these people let them talk this mess!

[EnigmaK]

Now I understand why Florida is the butt of so many jokes.

[GWRick-ldrj]

Deadlines for counting votes ? ? ?
Broward County has more than 500 precincts, other counties have as few as 150, yet they have the same arbitrary deadline.
The three largest counties in Florida are Democratic strongholds - Do you think this had anything to do with the deadline being set by a republican controlled legislature ?
Fix Florida's politics along with it's voting system.

[anthonychism]

The dog barking in the background is priceless given the " dog ate the homework" comments. The dog is like don't blame me... lol

[vonsuthoff]

All these technicalities... How about no matter what the delays are about or how ever long it takes, just make sure every legitimate vote COUNTS!!! Is that so hard?

[MrBillyFT]

"youll never know if it wasnt fraud" great to see the religious arguments coming into politics

[DENOEHONER]

the dog ate his homework because he Had No answer or EVIDENCE...

[manniefaces]

Once again the GOP shows exactly what it is white nationalist men for white nationalist men.

[brianmcintyre]

After 241 years America still can't run an election.

[hinds]

Wow!!! How can Floridians be ok with their votes not being counted.... I would never vote in that state.
