Generally, a senator with the proper credentials against whom a challenge had been filed would be seated "without prejudice." Under this arrangement, if a committee investigation later determined that for some reason the individual was not entitled to a seat, he could be "excluded" from the Senate by a simple majority vote, as opposed to having to be expelled, which required a two-thirds majority.
Why does everything have to be so complicated in Florida?
That is the question, isn't it? You'd have thought they would have learned their lesson once and for all from 2000.
We are not living in a political climate where I can have much confidence we have mostly trusted neutral officials. The cases of hypocrisy, partisanship and bias are palpable in multiple domains. So here we have a body of evidence of plausible shenanigans. So yes I have little faith no-one is/did weigh the scales.Do you personally trust the recount process now in place in light of how badly many election officials appear to have bungled things in Florida? Why or why not?

I'm going to assume that if you're voting on this poll, you've kept an eye on what's been occurring in Florida's elections process the last several days. Some highlights:
- Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum (D) conceded the race to Ron DeSantis (R) last week, but has now rescinded his concession.
- A postal worker in Miami-Dade County reported crates of ballots sitting in a storage area of the Opalocka mail facility. Ballots are supposed to be held by the elections board for 22 months after an election. It's unsure whether the ballots found in the storage area were ever counted.

- Broward County official Brenda Snipes, who has a history of bungling elections, was found to have missed valid ballots with invalid ones, once again drawing complaints of incompetence, or corruption.

- The ballots were poorly designed, and several thousand voters missed voting on the Senate race because it was placed directly below the instructions.

Another Florida oddity I forgot to mention; former congressional hopeful Pam Keith (D) took to Twitter a few days ago, to ask people to volunteer to sign unsigned ballots that were going to be void without a signature. This is illegal.

And how are they going to tell which one is theirs?I presume she meant to sign their own ballots, not someone else's

Still illegal. Ballots must be signed AT the voting polls, before being submitted.
Astounding that you didn't understand her post, but then again I'm not surprised that you didn't .

Are you saying that mailed ballots have to be signed at a polling place? WTH?
This is illegal. Once ballots are cast, they aren't supposed to be altered. If a ballot isn't signed before being cast, it's void. Pam Keith asked Floridians to commit voter fraud.
unsigned mail ins are void too. Are d voters too clueless to sign their own name to a ballot?
