technicality or not. Let's give them their day in court. Let's let the
courts in Florida decide whether or not it is an illegal ballot.

As usual the law being cited by the democrats that makes the ballot "illegal"
is a canard. The "on the right" issue is a statute that applies to ballots
not part of an electrical tabulation process. Clearly these are being counted
electronically. So as usual the Demos are obfuscating the issue with
fabricated assertions that they know are invalid. It is just this kind of
tactic that they use to try to parse their way out of every illegal act they
have committed from withholding evidence to lying under oath. They fabricate
an issue and then with the help of their lapdog media try to twist the
argument. Historical precedent is absolute on this sort of objection. tainted
ballots are thrown out. period. By the way so far the only judge to rule in
the favor of the Dems is a significant campaign contributor married to a Demo
operative who refused to recuse herself. So much for blind justice. Jeb Bush
has but a judge refuses. they are stalling for time hopefully to stretch
things out long enough to deliver another "lock box" of bogus votes.
