Trump is telling Florida to ignore military ballots. Happy Veterans Day.

That's a lie. You know it's a lie. You knowingly posted a lie.

It's not a direct quote. It's swept up in his wishes to not count remaining votes including the military's. Why do you lie so much? It's not helping you.

It's a satement of fact. One that's a bald face lie.

You are correct, other than the fact that he did not suggest that 'Military ballots be ignored'. It was the WaPo doing their usual shoddy journalism that picked that as the header for their hit piece.

Military ballots are included in with absentee ballots that trump wants tossed out. Do you support that?
 
The facts and history say that the military support Conservative positions overwhelmingly. Why again would he want to keep those votes from being counted?

Trump is telling Florida to ignore military ballots. Happy Veterans Day.

“The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged,” the commander in chief tweeted. “An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!”

As it happens, we do know where those votes came from: Among other sources, many of the ballots that arrive after Election Day are cast by military service members, contractors and dependents deployed overseas. Scott — a Navy veteran whose own administration snubbed several Florida-born Medal of Honor recipients to nominate him for the state’s new Military Hall of Fame in 2011 — should have known that from his time aboard a Pacific-based frigate. Indeed, the state he represents is one of the friendliest states of the union when it comes to accommodating overseas and military voters: It requires ballots to be sent to deployed service members at least 45 days before Election Day, and it counts those votes as long as they’re postmarked by Election Day and received in the voter’s home county within 10 days of the election — in this case, Nov. 16. Florida, in fact, has historically had a higher percentage of military personnel request and return mail-in ballots than any other state in the union.​

Because he's sweeping their votes in with all other absentee ballot voting and is willing to sacrifice the military vote just to not count the rest that aren't military ballots.

A small sacrifice to ensure stopping the count while his guy is ahead.

Finally a source! There's hope for you yet. Seems there was a problem with 12 ballots that were mixed in with 200 valid ones. While concerning, that's hardly a reason to stop the whole recount.

It amplifies the chain of custody problems already present in Florida. Its truly a clusterfark. And on point, read the local papers/news from Florida; they are getting right to the point off all the abnormalities w/o bias.
 
If they failed the requirement that they arrive within a certain number of days of the election, absolutely. The issue is the absentee ballots that are not statutorly protected. That issue seems to be that the WaPo picked out a 'possible' outcome to make their (fake news) headline.

Florida really has a counting & ballot-integrity problem. They were unable to actually state "we have X ballots cast, with Y provisionally and Z absentee", which apparently was supposed to be done with 48 hours. Ballots are supposed to follow a chain of custody and there should be no delay in being able to count those ballots.

Don't you know it. 2000 all over again. I think if Trump or the GOP for that matter knew these ballots were from veterans they would be the first to want them counted. The military and veterans have a long history of voting Republican over Democrats since Vietnam.

Ballot stuffing or finding ballots is something that has been happening ever since I can remember. Probably one of the most famous outside of Chicago and Mayor Richard J. Daley is LBJ's first senate run. So finding ballots isn't new.

Are these problems the result of inadequate staffing or perhaps outdated software? It might be worthwhile to look at the system as a whole to improve efficiency and accuracy. Republicans have been in charge of Florida for years. Why haven't they dealt with these problems?

No he just got them proper funding so they can have a raise and have replacement parts for vital weapons systems to keep them alive, I guess now the won't have to scavenge used parts off of non flying jets to keep other jets in the air like they did in the Obama administration.

I guess they could just keep on counting votes till 2020 do you support that? At some point counting has to stop and a winner , Democrat or Republican, has to be named. Military votes generally trend for Republicans anyway that is why the Florida panhandle is Republican stronghold in Florida.

Trump's tweet.

“An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!”​

Absentee ballots including military are still coming in. That's how. Right there in the link I put in the OP. Imagine that. Reading ftw!
