By Wednesday evening, it was around 30,000. This morning, it was around 21,000. Now, it is 15,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued: &#8220;On election night, Broward County said there were 634,000 votes cast. At 1 a.m. today, there were 695,700 ballots cast on election day. At 2:30 p.m. today, the number was up to 707,223 ballots cast on Election Day. And we just learned, that the number has increased to 712,840 ballots cast on Election Day. In Palm Beach County, there are 15,000 new votes found since election night.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Snipes&#8217; behavior looks particularly suspect, considering that she has expressed a &#8220;personal animus&#8221; toward Gov. Scott?<\/strong>\u00a0And also has a record of illegal and unethical behavior, including the illegal destruction of ballots.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Florida isn&#8217;t the only state where Democratic candidates are gaining ground in the vote tallies days after the election ended. In Arizona, Democrat Kirsten Sinema is now leading Republican Martha McSally in that state&#8217;s senate race, which has yet to be officially called.<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet sent late Friday afternoon, Trump cryptically warned of new evidence of election tampering in Arizona when he tweeted that &#8220;signatures don&#8217;t match&#8221; on some of the ballots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Georgia, Democrat Stacey Abrams is gaining on Republican Brian Kemp in the governor&#8217;s race.
