Trump snarks "blame the Russians" for the slow vote count in Florida, Georgia
On Friday, President Trump sarcastically said "blame the Russians" for the slow vote count and lost ballots in Florida and Georgia.
"You mean they are now finding votes in Florida and Georgia, but the election was on Tuesday? We are going to blame the Russians and demand an immediate apology from President Putin!
The president's tweet is presented as a battle in the Florida Senate between outgoing Republican Governor Rick Scott and current Democratic Senator Bill Nelson, which continues to heat up as late-coming ballots in mostly Democratic counties are fueling accusations of political scams.
Scott and the Republican National Senate Committee filed lawsuits against Broward County, alleging that they are hiding critical information about the number of votes cast and counted. The campaign also filed a lawsuit against Palm Beach County, where they accuse the election supervisor who illegally used her own trial to determine the voter's intent when reviewing damaged or improperly filled absentee ballots, while refusing to Allow impartial witnesses to oversee the process.
On Friday, Nelson's lawyer, Marc Elias, announced that they would file a lawsuit to extend the deadline for counting votes. Trump then criticized Elias as the "best election theft lawyer" of the Democrats and said he would send "much better lawyers to expose the FRAUD!"
And just north of that electoral struggle, Georgia's governor's career has not yet been resolved. Republican candidate Brian Kemp declared victory on Thursday and stepped down as Georgia's secretary of state. But Democrat Stacey Abrams, who hoped to be the nation's first African-American governor, is not giving in. The campaign said they will fight for all pending votes to be counted, and pushed for a tiebreaker election next month.
"@BrianKempGA ran a great race in Georgia: won. It's time to keep going forward! "Trump tweeted on Friday.
The president's tweets referred to the ongoing narrative throughout his administration: Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. The president has questioned whether the Kremlin was involved in influencing that election, and has been criticized repeatedly for doing it.
During the summer, top Trump administration officials warned again that Russia was posing a sustained threat to US elections with its influence operations, even saying that "democracy in itself is targeted."
An official with the Department of Homeland Security said this week that there were no reports of cybersecurity events affecting the ability to cast and count votes in mid-Tuesday elections. The officials said they did not see any kind of malicious actors.
