...office for 10 days, correcting requests for absentee ballots that were missing their voter ID numbers. "We're going to argue that all of the absentee ballots cast in Seminole County have been tainted," attorney Gerald Richman said Saturday. "Our position is, the ballots have to be thrown...
...right now may be their good soldiers, who are already catching Democratic flak for reportedly strong-arming a timid Miami-Dade canvassing board into quitting its hand count on Wednesday. The board did not see fit to mention any thuggery in their official explanation, but when a brick gets thrown through the window of the Broward County Democratic party office with a note attached reading "We will not tolerate any illegal government," that is not the art of sweet democratic suasion...
