Gillum has made the numbers for an automatic recount!

[The Blue Flower]

We're still on task to make sure all votes are counted
😁

[bdamomma]

1. yes that is great.

wouldn't it be something if he gets the office.

[Legends303]

2. Happy but I don't know if its going to enough to win

[zonkers]

11. This shit show is just beginning. I can only imagine the bullshit that will be uncovered.

[mitch96]

13. Next time....

With amendment 4 passing I see more Dem votes... next time...

[FakeNoose]

3. Woof Woof

Go Gillum! Good job Florida Democrats!

[SweetieD]

4. Good. Give em hell!!

[raging moderate]

5. Wahoo!

Good for you, Florida Democrats! Godspeed!

[femmocrat]

6. Great news.

I just knew it was too early to concede. Praying for him and Nelson to prevail.

[FM123]

7. Such happy news, thank you for sharing Blue Flower!

If I may add...
If you (or anyone you know who might need to know) voted via provisional ballot because you forgot your ID, or voted provisional because you went to the wrong location, you have until 5 P.M. TODAY to bring your ID to your county supervisor of elections and make your ballot count.

[SunSeeker]

39. I hope they're making that announcement on all Florida media!!

That is a really tight deadline.

[Liberal In Texas]

8. Good.

[ProudLib72]

9. KnR!!!

[sheshe2]

10. Woo Hoo!

[LincolnRossiter]

12. Good. It's a longshot, but I've been telling anyone who would listen not to count out him or Nelson

out. There are still votes to be counted, and the final result will likely lead to at least a machine recount.

[mcar]

14. Woo hoo!

[Dem_4_Life]

15. That's great! Fingers crossed.

[mia]

16. K & R

[iluvtennis]

17. Excellent news.

[workinclasszero]

18. Good deal!

Fingers crossed. 🤞🍀

[grantcart]

19. Link?

[jmbar2]

20. Outstanding!

Even if it's not enough to win, it will reveal some of the ratfuckery that's going on, and hopefully stimulate measures to prevent it from happening in 2020.

This is extremely important for our democracy. Please tell all those you are working with how much they are appreciated. You folks are heroes!

[niyad]

21. YES!!!!

[Kaleva]

22. I haven't found any source confirming this.

I do find many of these stories:

"Andrew Gillum's camp watching final voting totals with eye toward possible recount"

https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/08/election-results-recount-florida-governor-race-andrew-gillum-ron-desantis/1929796002/

[ChiTownDenny]

35. Thank you!

Nor have I. Scanning the comments hoping to find confirmation.

[AlexSFCA]

23. and why did he concede prematurely?

it is not fair to his supporters and people who worked so hard on his campaign.

[Tiggeroshii]

25. Concessions are not legally binding

And it looked like this wouldnt come this close on election night. Concessions mean nothing inbactuality.

[YessirAtsaFact]

24. The next step is to get it to .25 % for a hand recount

And get people lined up to defend boards of elections against Brooks Brothers riots.

[Kaleva]

27. He hasn't made the first step yet.

[Tiggeroshii]

33. First step was qualifying for an automatic recount.

Are you saying that actually didnt happen?

[Kaleva]

37. I can't find any news source confirming it and the OP provides no link to such.

[Tiggeroshii]

55. Here you go

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/political-pulse/os-ne-florida-governor-recount-close-20181108-story.html

On edit:
Ugh nevermind!

[Kaleva]

58. Those are the stories I've been finding.

[Tiggeroshii]

60. I guess we will know saturday

One thing that is clear is that they are still counting unsoecified number of votes that may or may not make the difference

[Tiggeroshii]

26. Link to results?

[janterry]

28. You are working on this?

If so, thank you.

As you know, we moved and all. But this race has made me so sad. Esp. the Gov. - the loss of that will mean loss of the FL Supreme Court as well.

I really want FL to finally turn a corner. So, thank you!

[honest.abe]

29. My hope is that during the recount they uncover some massive vote fraud by the Republicans.

That effectively gave the election to the De Santis.

[klook]

30. No mention of this in sources I checked:

Orlando Sentinel, Miami Herald, Ballotpedia.

Do you have information the rest of us don't? If so, please share numbers and source.

[lpbk2713]

31. Make sure Katherine Harris and James Baker stay away from Tallahassee.

They might feel their services are needed.

[calimary]

38. Yeah, no shit.

And Ted Olson, too. Argued the bush v Gore case in SCOTUS and, unfortunately, was convincing enough.

[Takket]

32. Holy cow...

I just saw Nelson/Scott is now within 22000 votes and 0.2%!!! Nelson was down about 60000 I think on election night. So that should trigger the hand recount and if that is the case they should just tally the governor’s race at the same time.

[MrsCoffee]

34. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Excellent news!

[onetexan]

43. I second that!!! From Mrs. TEA :)

[Meowmee]

36. Yay👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That is fantastic!

[pdsimdars]

40. As the Psalmist said, "Lord I don't ask for justice because in your eyes no man is justified, . . .

I ask for MERCY."

[sprinkleeninow]

81. "Lord, be merciful unto us according to Your great mercies!" eom

[Kaleva]

41. Has ANYBODY found a source confirming this?

[Stellar]

42. omg, omg, omg!!!

[Kaleva]

46. Why are you excited? This hasn't been confirmed yet.

"Andrew Gillum's camp watching final voting totals with eye toward possible recount

Published 11:25 a.m. ET Nov. 8, 2018 | Updated 11:28 a.m. ET Nov. 8, 2018

The Andrew Gillum campaign is watching closely as votes continue to be tallied in Broward County to see whether the results of Tuesday's governor race may join the U.S. Senate contest in a recount."

https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/08/election-results-recount-florida-governor-race-andrew-gillum-ron-desantis/1929796002/

[Stellar]

47. Keep hope alive. n/t.

[Kaleva]

48. But the OP, as far as I can tell, is wrong and maybe giving people false hope.

[Stellar]

50. Thanks Kaleva...

Hope is hope.

[shenmue]

44. Yes

[UCmeNdc]

45. Let's count every vote! K&R

[Honeycombe8]

49. Woo hoo! (I read that stats show it almost never changes results, but still....)

Even so, there is a chance, if only a tiny one. And it doesn't hurt to make the Republicans sweat a little while they wait.

[Mike Nelson]

51. This got me excited, but...

… my friend in Florida hasn't heard... and I don't see this story on the news...

[workinclasszero]

52. I've been searching Google for it too

No luck so far.

[Mike Nelson]

54. I see he's not...

… at the right percentage… but it's possible he might get there. They are still counting votes. I hope it happens!

[LisaL]

83. Here.

http://www.fox13news.com/news/politics/gillum-now-says-recount-possible-in-florida-s-governor-race

[Sunsky]

56. I'm in Broward and our local CBS news reported on it at noon

Also, Nelson now has .1% to meet the hand recount threshold. He's .26% behind Scott and you need .25% for a hand recount.

[Roland99]

57. Nothing on CBS Miami Twitter feed

https://twitter.com/CBSmiami

[Sunsky]

59. It was reported via the television nt

[Kaleva]

67. I looked at the CBS4 Miami News website and saw nothing there confirming OP

There a report about Gillum being close to meeting the recount threshold.

[LisaL]

82. Here.

http://www.fox13news.com/news/politics/gillum-now-says-recount-possible-in-florida-s-governor-race

[Kaleva]

85. Yes, the news came out shortly after.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211395327

My reply:

" Yea! An OP with a link!

Lots of uncounted votes in heavy Dem areas.

"Broward election officials said to expect their first unofficial results by 1 p.m. Friday."

[StevieM]

62. My math has it at 0.2684%. It is close to what he needs for a hand recount.

That is what we should have had after the Bush vs. Gore election.

[Sunsky]

63. Same here

I don't trust the numbers coming out of those machines.

[Baitball Blogger]

66. Scott is probably dropping bricks.

If there's a hand recount we might find some serious discrepancies that will be a direct reflection on him.

[Mike Nelson]

76. Update my response...

… just saw this on the news!

[LAS14]

53. I think you should edit the subject of your OP. We need to cultivate reliability, not...

...slip into being ruled by rumor.

[Native]

71. Blue is working from the Tallahassee office

and Sciutto, CNN, tweeted 4 hours ago that both Gillum & Nelson were within the margin for recounts.

[StevieM]

61. I just did the math and I have Gillum down by 0.53%. There may be more votes to come in.

But for now he is a few votes shy of what he needs for a recount.

[Baitball Blogger]

64. As of 1:55 PM I haven't heard any news source confirm the poster's claim.

[Baitball Blogger]

65. Blue Flower, can you confirm?

There hasn't been any newsource reporting on this info.

[In It to Win It]

68. We're not there yet. There's a 0.52 difference.

You can check here:

https://floridaelectionwatch.gov/StateOffices/Governor

[Baitball Blogger]

69. Thank you.

I wonder why Blue Flower jumped the gun on this one? Maybe they found the ballots, but are waiting for people to come in to verify?

[Baitball Blogger]

70. Wait, are you sure about that?

49.15% versus 49.62%

I do suffer from math anxiety, but that looks like we're below .50

[In It to Win It]

75. You're right. At the last count I checked, we were at 0.52

My info was outdated just that quickly. My bad.

[RockaFowler]

72. Bring it Home!!!

Link to tweet

Oh and Nikki Fried is ahead now for Ag Commissioner

Link to tweet

[Native]

73. Marc Caputo just tweeted Gillum's at .47%! Done Deal!!!!

[klook]

74. "Andrew Gillum Ron DeSantis governor race appears headed to a recount"

- Tallahassee Democrat

"It’s not over yet: Gillum-DeSantis race for governor is likely headed to a recount" - Miami Herald

Andrew Gillum gained votes on Ron DeSantis Wednesday and Thursday as elections supervisors continued to tally the last remaining votes cast in Florida’s midterm elections. Unofficial results must be sent to the state by Saturday. - Miami Herald, 2:15 p.m.

Looks like this will drag on for a bit.

[whathehell]

77. Yay!

[onetexan]

79. Lol love it

[whathehell]

80. Me too.

[oldlibdem]

78. keep fighting

And hold their feet to the fire! I expect the repukes will try and cheat on the recount.

[bdamomma]

84. wow

can you imagine if he wins????

[Haggis for Breakfast]

86. I will turn somersaults in the streets ???????

Biggest party Florida has had in years ?

trmp shits his pants ?

DeSantis crawls back under the rocks ?

[nvme]

87. I am a Floridian and what we need is....

a miracle. so say a lil prayer for me.

[Piedras]

88. Gillum is 0.44% behind De Santis

https://floridaelectionwatch.gov/StateOffices/Governor now shows that Gillium is 0.44% behind De Santis.

Gillum is at 49.17%.
De Santis is at 49.61%.
49.61 - 49.17 = 0.44

[NewJeffCT]

89. They need to make sure that all the votes are counted

in Florida as well. I think if they can count the outstanding ballots in Broward & Palm Beach, it may put Nelson into the lead and make it very close for Gillum.
