The reason being is that each county's election supervisor (not sure of the title) is electronically
linked to all the other county supervisors voter d-bases.
Looks like Bill Nelson was right about the electronic hacking of our vote.

(77,851 posts)... the Russian actions did not effect any votes. Funny, Vlad went to all that trouble to
have no effect on election. Ever since they passed HAVA (Help America Vote Act) in
2002 we have seen a red state shift in the vote despite the demographics and issues
being much more pro blue.
Right on it w this post.

(22,240 posts)They didn't find election engineering cause 1) no one looked, 2) Russian hackers covered their tracks.
Exit polls and pre-election polling all point to it also.
Go ahead and push your narrative though.

(96,882 posts)...they tell me vote hacking didn't occur.
But perhaps anonymous bloggers know better.

(52,714 posts)They're just releasing the information as rolling disclosure in the hopes that they can tamp down our anger.
These people are shameless. I grow more and more convinced every day that Bill Nelson was cheated.

(77,851 posts)As was Andrew Gillum too. And don't forget Georgia's Governor and Senate races .....
If you want to believe Ohio's 2018 vote that 250,000 people voted for a liberal democratic
senator, Sherrod Brown but then turned around and voted for conservative republicans
for Governor, A.G. and Sec. of State.
