asking the state of florida to overturn the florida procedures for verifying absentee ballots. yes. now, that s fraud in the open. he s asking for them to count ballots that canvassing boards have already deemed invalid or fraudulent. right. and that is the by the way, it s the same lawyer who two years ago objected to this process. the florida law. right. during the hillary clinton campaign. he was do you have a legal right to appeal the decisions of the canvassing board? you do, but he all right. hold on. how is that hold on, chris. he went to court during the 2016 election. right. is he objected to florida s absentee ballot verification laws. right. the judge in the case, an appointee of obama, judge walker, gave him the remedy he sought. florida abided by that. the legislature in a bipartisan and unanimous fashion right. codified his answer. they put his procedures in place from that case. right. those are the procedures we have f
about fraud. it s about transparency. that matters as well. i want to be clear about it. no, chris, the reason we have that law if place, the reason you have to tell us exactly how many more ballots there are to be cast, is so we can make sure you don t add some after you find out i totally hear it. i totally hear it. that s a very important law to abide by. 100%. she did not abide by it. it s also referenced in your constitution. so there s no question that it is a really important mandate and it needed to be adhered to. you went to court. you won. i have another question, though. she found more votes. all right. let s put that into the true context. all right? voting is sloppy. it s certainly sloppy in your state. it doesn t matter what kind of upgrades we do, we know that anywhere you look, anywhere in this country, if a race is close, you re not going to love the process. but there s something that i keep hearing that i don t know how legitimate it is. we should count
tuesday. just know that. okay? yes, he s the president, yes, you got to respect the office but don t have to respect everything he says because a lot of it is just bogus and this is one point of proof of that. all right? the process never ends on election day. by law anywhere. the president is dead wrong, again. facts first. all right? so trump is now trying to raise money off his fact-free claim that the elections are being stolen. what do you think about that? ? stolen or legit? you really want to put de-mc m y to that kind of test? let s put it to the test in a great debate, next. a moment of joy. a source of inspiration. an act of kindness. an old friend.
and respects if politicians didn t pay lawyers when things were tight and they had fights to make, none of you guys would be anywhere. what i m saying is this, you talk about having to make a decision, the governor has a decision to make. he is supposed to certify, i believe it s him and one or two members of the legislature have to certify these results. at some point in the future. is he going to do that or will he recuse himself because of his own conflict in this? the governor respects the process. he respects the law. even if he loses? he has only asked that the law be followed in florida. that is his job. what if he loses? governor scott has always been someone who s abided by the law. he s not going to lose unless they steal it from him in court. what if he loses and he thinks they stole it from him it s the will of the florida voters that he be elected senator. it s been done in the count i hear that. i heard what the president said. the president says y
that s why i m asking you. i ll give you the spin tonight on it because we re still early in the process. we ll talk about this again. you re invited back. give our best to the governor. i will. may the man with the most votes win. and i look forward to having you back. thanks a lot, chris. all right. be well. that s brad todd. he represents governor scott. this is going to be an ongoing process and, again, the governor at the end of it, he s got to certify the results under florida state law. what happens there. all right, let s take a little breather then the other side. an attorney representing florida s democratic party, he s a veteran of that 2000 infamous ballot showdown. can he defend the complaints about democratic officials and the counting? next. ahoy! gotcha! nooooo. noooooo. quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and is 2x more absorbent. bounty, the quicker picker upper.
