Enjoy.)With the midterm elections under wraps, Americans eagerly watch how the country will change over the next two years. Democrats, bitter about their big defeats in Florida, refuse to accept the outcome of these elections. Key counties might be playing tricks, potentially altering voter ballots. But President Donald Trump just turned the tables on them.
Democrats are contesting the results of fair and open elections. Isn’t this what they said Trump would do — both in 2016 and 2018?
The Democrats were predicting a blue wave to sweep over our country. Liberals in the government and media all but assured us that Americans were sick of President Donald Trump. Millions would flock to the polls and put Democrats back in the driver seat.
Instead, Democrats managed to grasp a slight majority in the House. Republicans expanded their lead in the Senate. Plus, they beat Democrats in key races the liberals were counting on winning.
Some of those races included the highly-publicized governor and senator seats in Florida. At the end of the night on November 7, it looked like both Republican candidates had won their races. Today, due to the close margins, recounts are underway.
Most of the time, recounts confirm what we discovered on Election Night. Republicans, with close but clear leads, will be declared the winners.
But it seems like key counties in Florida have been playing games. Evidence suggests that Broward Country and Miami-Dade — two large liberal areas in Florida — might not be counting votes properly. It has sparked a huge lawsuit and the wrath of President Trump.
President Donald Trump announced on Twitter Thursday night that law enforcement officials are reportedly looking into a corruption scandal in Florida’s election.
Law Enforcement is looking into another big corruption scandal having to do with Election Fraud in #Broward and Palm Beach. Florida voted for Rick Scott!

Trump’s announcement followed the breaking news out of Florida on Thursday night that Republican Senate candidate Rick Scott has filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing Democrats of coordinating an effort to “steal the election.”

The Florida Senate race was extremely close. But Rick Scott — current governor of the state — appeared to have won with a margin of 0.19 percent, 50.1 to 49.9.
But it looks like the Democrats are employing lawyers to manipulate the results of a recount.
Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement late Thursday, “It is sad and embarrassing that Bill Nelson would resort to these low tactics after the voters have spoken clearly. Maybe next, he’ll start ranting that Russians stole the election.” [Source: Breitbart]
Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, also weighed in on the controversy, claiming Democrats were up to their old tricks.
These democrat counties in Florida and Arizona are playing tricks because they just can’t accept the fact they lost. I will not be shocked if investigations lead to rampant fraud. Republicans need to send every lawyer we have to protect the legitimacy of these elections.

As a migrant war brews on our Southern border, another is growing in South Florida. Did election officials in liberal counties fudge the results of the election? Are they staging a scheme to add — or subtract — votes in order to protect Democrat Bill Nelson?
That’s what the Republicans are furious about. And they are sending the might of the RNC to stop it. It could be that the results of both major elections will not be decided for weeks to come. If not longer.
But will law enforcement be able to untangle Trump’s “big corruption scandal” or will Democrats scurry away yet again? SHARE if you believe the Democrats are trying to steal an election!
