    Andrew Gillum has withdrawn his concession, issuing “an unapologetic and uncompromised call to count every vote.” Whether or not he wins, the way that he ran his race should make both Democrats and Republicans take notice. Read my profile in .

    This is extraordinary action by the sitting governor in an election in which he has a direct personal stake. Florida and Georgia have been object lessons in what can happen when powerful state officials remain in office, wielding power, while they run for even higher office.

    BREAKING: In Florida Gov Scott's campaign has now filed a motion to seize (impound) the voting equipment in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. I suppose his last stunt--to send in state law enforcement didn't work out as expected (hint: they found no fraud).

    Do the voters in question have an opportunity to cure whatever the “error” is?

    Over 10.1k VBM ballots in FL have been rejected because of a unspecified "voter-caused error"; 37%D, 34%R, 28%NPA. There's another 10.1k rejected VBM because of missing signature on the Voter's Certificate. 44%D, 32%R, 24%NPA

    And yes many move to Florida for the weather, but lots also move there to retire because it has no state income tax (see Paul LePage, STB ex gov of Maine). FL has plenty of Dems and indies but also lots of very conservative retirees, rural ppl & transplants like Donald Trump.

    This thread. Also, it would not surprise you to learn that the idea of dedicating a statue of Denmark Vesey in Charleston — which was so central a slave market that half of all African Americans can trace an ancestor to its ports — was enormously controversial.

    Last tweet, I promise: Vesey's church, from whence he recruited many of those involved in the rebellion, is Mother Emmanuel, the very church where white supremacist Dylan Roof killed nine black churchgoers.

    It’s official: Rohrabacher has lost re-election for the first time in 2 decades. Republicans declined to make his House Intel testimony public in the weeks leading up to the election. But with Dems in control, that could change by early next year.

    Went to a Bat Mitzvah today, which was lovely. But as it was starting, the rabbi took time — in a very measured voice — to point out all the exits, including the emergency exits, so people would know how to leave the synagogue if necessary. That’s new.
