shame on florida & rick scott....votes STILL not counted

Florida Vote 2012: U.S. Election Over But Final Florida Results Still Not In


MIAMI, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Americans gave President Barack Obama a second term in office, but it still wasn't clear early on Wednesday whether the president won the key battleground state of Florida.

The vote in the state, which introduced the terms "hanging chads" and "butterfly ballots" to the masses in its historic 2000 presidential election, was too close to call long after Republican challenger Mitt Romney conceded his loss.

Early Wednesday morning Obama was edging out Romney by about 45,000 votes, or 0.53 percentage points, out of a total of 8.27 million votes cast in Florida, with about 99 percent of the votes counted.

"It's 1:42 in the morning and I just heard there are still people voting in Miami-Dade County," tweeted Chris Cate, spokesman for Florida's Secretary of State, who is responsible for elections. "Kudos to their commitment to voting!"

knowing that the election was called thru out the nation. he tried all he could to stop their vote. yea, them.

and disgusting piece of shit he is.

i swear he is doing it out of nasty to not add the 29 to a 332 landslide. waiting until after the dust settles and 332 will be forgotten or never heard.
