‚We’ve got to stop the bleeding‘: Democrats sound alarm in Miami
Democrats are sounding the alarm about weak voter turnout rates in Florida’s biggest county, Miami-Dade, where a strong Republican showing is endangering Joe Biden’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state.
No Democrat can win Florida without a huge turnout and big winning margins here to offset losses elsewhere in the state. But Democrats are turning out at lower rates than Republicans and at lower rates than at this point in 2016, when Hillary Clinton won by 29 percentage points here and still lost the state to Donald Trump.

Broward and Hillsborough Counties fail — or refuse — to submit recount totals that would have expanded GOP margins in Florida
Republicans Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott would have seen their margins in the governor and Senate races increase had county officials in two Democratic counties met the recount deadline Thursday.

What’s the matter with Florida?
As the general counsel of Al Gore’s 2000 recount effort in Florida, I’m often asked this question about the Senate and gubernatorial recounts now going on there: Why does “this” keep happening in Florida?
Thursday, Rick Scott had won the Keys by one vote. By Friday, he had lost there by 10.
(9.11.2018) Numbers released Friday by the Monroe County Supervisor of Elections show that in the Florida Keys, Gov. Rick Scott actually lost his bid for U.S. Senate by 10 votes.
The initial tally after Election Day showed he carried Monroe County by exactly one vote. But an election summary report sent out Friday afternoon shows incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson received 18,036 votes to Scott’s 18,026.

Ron DeSantis and Andrew Gillum absolutely wallop the Florida political establishment
Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum won the Republican and Democratic nominations for Florida governor Tuesday. The political establishment, in both cases, lost.

Wasserman Schultz tritt nach HillaryLeaks als DNC-Chefin zurück …
(25.7.2016) Kurz vor Beginn dieses Parteitages trat Debbie Wasserman Schultz als Vorsitzende des Democratic National Committee (DNC) zurück. Der Grund dafür sind von WikiLeaks öffentlich gemachte E-Mails, die nahe legen, das DNC im Vorwahlkampf nicht (wie es die Statuten eigentlich verlangen) neutral war, sondern sich auf Seiten Clintons geschlagen hatte und für sie arbeitete (vgl. Clinton wählt Swing-State-Gouverneur und Abtreibungsgegner als „Running Mate“). Um Clintons Konkurrenten Bernie Sanders zu schaden, setzte man der Whistleblowerplattform zufolge auch unfaire Mittel ein – darunter auch eine – so WikiLeaks – „bezahlte Trollfabrik“.
