Is it just me, or is it very ironic that as things are falling out now, it might just be that Goreski's strategy of not allowing the SOS certify the results on the date set forth by the legislature, they may have completely shot themselves in the foot.
If they had just let Harris certify the results on Nov 14 or 15, they would have had all the time in the world to contest the election, convince a judge (or the FL SC) to allow a hand recount, and take all the time go manufacture the votes they need. It might even have seemed more legit to the casual observer that way (of course those who follow this stuff closely would still know better).
Since they dragged out the certification until the 26th, as it stands now, even if the court allows for a hand count (to be announced later today), there wouldn't be much time to do the cheating....errrr... counting -- even if only the 'undervotes' and 'overvotes' are counted.
I just sorta had to chuckle at the irony of it all.
