Judge orders recount in Florida's Palm Beach County extended to Nov. 20
By Megan Keller - 11/13/18 04:31 PM EST

Election officials in Palm Beach County, Fla. will have an extra five days to complete a machine recount of votes in four closely contested races after a Leon County judge extended a key deadline for submitting election results to Nov. 20.

Under Florida law, the state Elections Canvassing Commission must certify election results no later than Nov. 20. The ruling is likely to delay that process, leaving Floridians wondering who their next senator, governor and agriculture commissioner will be.

The ruling, reported by The Palm Beach Post, came in a lawsuit filed by Jim Bonfiglio, a Democrat locked in tight contest for a state House seat. That lawsuit asked the judge to extend the deadline for vote reporting in his race against Republican Mike Caruso.

But Circuit Judge Karen Gievers moved to extend the recount deadline for the state’s three closely watched statewide races, as well, Bonfiglio told The Palm Beach Post on Tuesday.

Why not just let them have as long as they need to get enough votes to steal the election. WHy set some arbitrary date on a calendar to end the count for votes....  I mean fair is fair.

You are absolutely correct ... the GOP doesn't seem like they are fighting back at all.  Why are they so willing to bend over on this?

Considering this was just ruled why don't we give the GOP a couple minutes to type up an appeal and injunction before dumping on them. Her ruling is easy to overturn since it defies FL election law.
