Republicans Throw a Tantrum

There's something very strange going on right now in Florida...

Three different races (senate seat, governor and secretary of agriculture) are too close to call.

Except, that is exactly what the Republicans did.  They claimed that they won before all the votes are counted...and now that the votes aren't going the way they thought, they are claiming someone is trying to "steal this election".

Last I checked, the only ones playing a game here are the Republicans, trying things like placing "public voting booths" inside gated communities, and requiring matching signatures for a vote to be counted as well as gerrymandering.

The gated communities are a problem as the people who mostly live in them are rich white folks, a.k.a. "Republicans".

The signatures are a problem as the elections are run by a Republican who has untrained counters validating the signatures by eye, making it very easy indeed to discount votes where the vote doesn't go the way expected.

The gerrymandering means that people can be grouped so that democrats are excluded from surrounding areas, and stuffed into one area.  It would give the Democrats one area, but the Republicans would get 4, or 5 or more.

Long story short is that even with all the dirty tricks Republicans have played, their candidates still can't get a clear majority.

Rigging the system like this is not American, it's not Democratic, and it certainly isn't ethical.

This is simply the entitled Republicans throwing yet another strop over the fact that they are losing, people are seeing through their bullshit, and are voting them out.   

Let Democracy happen!  Respect the vote!
