U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio was back on Twitter Tuesday, sounding the alarm about a potentially stolen election in South Florida.
“Incompetent law breaking election officials lead to chance for lawyers to steal an election Dem lawyers aren’t here to make sure every vote is counted. They’re here to get as many votes for their client as possible counted & get as many votes for opponent as possible thrown out,” Rubio tweeted shortly after noon Tuesday.
“#BrowardCounty & #PalmBeachCounty are headed towards being only counties to not make deadline for machine recount Potentially deliberate effort to delay final count hoping a judge will order domestic vote by mail received after 7pm #ElectionDay counted, in violation of state law,” Rubio added.

Rubio has aggressively messaged the Republican position in the ongoing recount drama, sounding similar concerns last week.
“Florida law requires counties report early voting and vote-by-mail within 30 minutes after polls close,” he wrote on Twitter. “Forty-three hours after polls closed two Democrat strongholds Broward County and Palm Beach County are still counting and refusing to disclose how many ballots they have left to count.”
While the race for Governor between Ron DeSantis and Andrew Gillum sees a 0.41 percent spread as the machine recount progresses, the race for Senate is much closer (a 0.15 percent spread) between incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott.
With an undervote in play in Broward County, the nation’s eyes will be on whether it can meet the Thursday at 3 p.m. deadline for results.
Rubio is skeptical.
Deadline for recount is Thursday. #PalmBeach already said they won’t make it. #BrowardCounty just started recount today,3 days after most every other county & will probably miss as well. Demanding they follow law isn’t effort to stop vote count,its effort to stop law breaking

Despite skepticism from many corners, Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes claims that the deadline will be satisfied.

How do you steal something that is undecided? And they say the left is paranoid…

Poor ol’ miserable Marco Rubio. Stands for NOTHING THE PUBLIC STANDS FOR; WORKS AGAINST US every chance; didn’t want to do his Senate job, but continues doing it. TYPICAL REPUBLICAN do-nothing-opportunist.

I was starting to like Rubio a little bit…..thinking he wasn’t a bad Republican. But now I have lost all hope. How can he assert that Nelson stole an election? And how can he even pay attention to lying Rick Scott. Rick Scott is a Very very very clever liar……and that is all that he is good at. Lynn W.

Undecided? How is a majority of votes decided for one candidate undecided? How is finding votes that are not allowed after the deadline not only breaking the law but stealing an election

How is Not Counting votes completely NOT an abrogation of the US Constitution? First, get Snipes out of Broward County business. Why hasn’t that already been accomplished? Everyone is Asking. WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS????

The laws are simple and clear. So is math and statistics. The discovery of extra ballots and votes that greatly benefits only one side shows that fraud is taking place. One thing they are not doing is to make sure the ballots cast are actually legal. How many voters in these counties that refuse to follow the laws also voted in another state (like New York)? How many are dead? Felons? Fictitious? Late? Also how many mail-in ballots did mail persons throw away (it’s happened before)? Judges cannot change the laws.
