Protect Our Elections, a liberal-leaning group based in Washington, D.C., says more than 160,000 votes in Florida weren't counted during last month's presidential election. The group claims each of those votes matters a great deal because Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 112,911 votes in the Sunshine State. Trump won by roughly 1.5 percent, a margin high enough to avoid the state's automatic-recount provisions.

But last Friday, Protect Our Elections sued the state to contest the election, possibly throwing President-elect Trump's transition into an even greater state of turmoil.

For the past 30 days, failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein has launched a much-ballyhooed (but perfectly legal) attempt to recount votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, forcing the country to grapple with the question of exactly how hackable our election system really is. But despite how crucial Florida's 29 Electoral College votes are to the election, nobody has thrown Florida's election results under the microscope until now.

After raising more than $65,000 online, Protect Our Elections sued to contest the election at 11:48 p.m. Friday, a scant 12 minutes before the state's election-lawsuit deadline. The group claims — citing what looks to be extremely shaky evidence — the vote totals do not include "tens of thousands" of legal votes that weren't counted because of alleged vote-machine malfunctions, but do include "tens of thousands of illegal votes that were improperly counted."

In addition, the lawsuit claims that at least 25,000 mail-in ballots were requested but never received in Broward County, that the state's voting machines could have been hacked, and that Florida this year posted an "abnormally high invalid vote rate."

2. I hope they can get the necessary resources

Too many dems are rolling over, rolling their eyes, not interested.

We need to get this story out

3. $65,000 is some nice scratch for cobbling together a web site.

Since there is virtually no chance whatsoever of Florida granting a recount, I have to wonder what the money raised will be used for.

4. Damning graphic

1429 Democrats voted and how many votes for Clinton? I smell various rats.

5. This is an odd lawsuit....

"They're asking for a hand recount of every paper ballot in Florida, at the expense of defendants including President-elect Trump, Gov. Rick Scott and the 29 Republican presidential electors from Florida.
But even lawyers for the plaintiffs acknowledge time isn’t on their side. Clint Curtis, an Orlando attorney representing the plaintiffs, said the defendants may not respond by the time the Electoral College meets on Dec. 19..."

They're suing the electors for money?

7. Hmm, that doesn't sound too promising

Strange because I thought the lawyer involved has lots of experience from previous elections.
