Historic Recount: Florida Dem Senator Sues To Extend Deadline | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

In my opinion this is NOTHING to do if you're Republicans or Democrats, this is more the Rights of the citizens who every single ballots for these people..

[honestbusiness]

Throwing out votes because of signature match done by random people? What? That is nuts!

[alvin]

GOP the party of Law and Order....what a Joke

[therealzilch]

Female Muslim and Native American Congresspeople? As a white man, I can only applaud this.

[honestbusiness]

Count our militarys’ votes, our soldiers’ votes count. Count every vote every election.

[davidellis]

Just count the votes !! No need to hurry. Make sure Florida did not screw it up. Their track record is dubious. All votes matter !

[lyndasutherland]

How exciting to see Ari out and about :-)

[juancarlosvaldes]

Thank you Ari for coming to my community! Hope you enjoy your stay!

[JamesMcDermottx]

Incredible that there's such a tight deadline to get this done. Once there is a progressive government in place the whole voting process needs looked at and while they're at it get rid of electoral college and gerrymandering.

[captainpugwash]

Rick Scott trying to decide when counting is over, is like the worm deciding when the fishing trip is over!

[salmonline]

Count every vote, no matter how long it takes.
See how long it takes then make THAT the deadline for next time.

[torben]

Next election Democrats should consider counting votes for their own party first. Apparently, this is how Republicans like to determine who wins an election - first come first serve

[torben]

The fact that there is a deadline shows how much US Americans value democracy. Every legal vote counts!

[ameliarenkel]

It is logical that early voting / voting is restricted to a reasonable time frame. It defies common sense to set an arbitrary time limit to count those votes.
All votes must be counted; voter suppression must NOT be tolerated in the Representative Democracy that is America!

[jerika]

My Gawd, the fact that you can't even get the election process done fairly and transparently in the 21st century, really makes the US look stupid. Seriously. It's ridiculous.

[xjarheadjohnson]

What is the hurry?
I understand having a soft deadline, so we have a target....but if there are problems, give officials more time.
More time, so we can ensure ALL VOTES are counted, ACCURATELY!!!!

[mashamitchell]

Why is there always a problem in Florida?

[honestbusiness]

They throughout a Congressman’s vote because of a signature match requirement done by random volunteers. WOW! That is nuts.

[MrChannelnamehere]

It's obvious Rick Scott doesn't want every vote counted. Why else would he try to enforce some inane deadline?

[path]

Doesn't matter if you're Republicans or Democrats, Right of Citizens needs to be enforced and every single vote counts. For the people
