    I know my SS acted better from just adding the CAI and new exhaust....wonder how much more if any the chip will make?

    .


    It's not a "chip" .... does nothing to the tune, just changes how the throttle body tip in reacts to the gas peddle .... pushing the pedal further or faster is free .....

    Any leader would loose my respect, for acting like that.


    ....


    Anyone can make time to show some respect for what they gave. Even if they don't have a golf course, near by.

    Have whatever opinion you wish however your statements are not born in fact, the decision to ground Marine One and not make the trip by motorcade where not his ..... do I like it, no ... however the US President does not move unless the Secret Service allows it, they did not..... I also notice someone else was missing ... :/

    Holly crap .... Snipes just answered questions on national TV and couldn't even properly describe the process as outlined in the FL constitution .... she evaded and answered incorrectly while professing over and over again about she has has the position for over 15 years ....


    As far as history ...


    Snipes was formally appointed on Nov. 20, 2003, to replace former County Supervisor Miriam Oliphant, who was escorted out of her office and removed from her job.
    CBS Miami reported while Oliphant was in office, uncounted votes were found in a cabinet drawer, and the department went a million dollars over budget.
    Snipes was reelected in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016.


    Being an elected official it is very hard to just remove her although I expect that to happen after January ......


    Anyone can search for the numerous problems over the years but Snipes has had several recent election-related incidents:


    August 2016: Broward elections office post election results before polls close
    CBS Miami reported the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office inadvertently posted election results 30 minutes before the polls closed at 7 p.m.
    It prompted Secretary of State Ken Detzner to fire off memos to the Broward County State Attorney and sheriff asking for an investigation.


    March 2018: Judge rules in favor of Broward elections office in voter fraud suit
    The Sun Sentinel reported a federal judge cleared Snipes in a lawsuit that accused her office of facilitating voter fraud.


    May 2018: Destroyed ballots in Wasserman-Schultz race
    In May 2018, the Sun Sentinel reported a judge ruled the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office violated state and federal laws by destroying ballots from a 2016 Congressional race too soon — and while the ballots were the subject of a lawsuit against the office.
    The ruling stems from Tim Canova’s bid to unseat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary, a race he lost convincingly. In September, Snipes approved the destruction of the ballots, signing a certification that said no court cases involving the ballots were pending.
    Snipes said the action a “mistake” during testimony she gave in the case, saying the boxes were mislabeled and there was “nothing on my part that was intentional” about destroying the contested ballots.


    August 2018: Judge orders Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret
    Politico reported a judge ordered for Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret or before the county's three-member canvassing board to determine the ballots' validity.
    “We appreciate the court’s order clarifying what Florida law plainly requires — that Supervisor Snipes and her staff must safely keep and may not open any vote-by-mail ballot until the Broward County Canvassing Board canvasses the vote,” a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Florida told Politico.


    August 2018: Vote-by-mail late arrivals in the primary election
    CBS Miami reported the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office had late delivery on about 5,000 vote-by-mail ballots for the 2018 primary election.

    If the IRS can track every tax paying citizen in the US by a SSN - why can’t you vote electronically with no mistakes.....Oh crap - I forgot - who the hell can trust the IRS

    .


    I am sure its not unique to Fl but down here, every year, thousands of illegals are found (how many are missed) to be using stolen SSN's for work, to get DL's, and even benefits. Much of this being solved now that FL has gone to nationally accepted ID's/DL's with Federal checks at issue but it will take years for that to become fully implemented. IMO the next step should be to require this type of ID to vote ..... everywhere ...... like that will ever happen ......


    All counties in FL are required to submit totals to the Capital by noon today ... Broward didn't even open their office until 10am so we will see .....
    No matter what I see a definite recount for US Senate, Governor, and AGR from all this...... As I see it only the AGR Commissioner (powerful position here) is on the line and the Dem is a friends neighbor, she's an idiot (O Cortez with a cowboy hat) who has never worked in any AG industry and ran on issues already allowed in FL, like medical marijuana ... which was approved during the last voting cycle, mandatory background checks for firearms (controlled by the AGR dept. in FL) which has been law here for many years and reinforced by Gov Scott last year.... the only people who are less qualified for the position are those who voted because they saw a "D" next to her name and know nothing about her or the office she is seeking .......

    So ... Palm Beach is refusing to release ballot information mandated by today's court order ....


    The courts decided they broke FL election law and went against our state constitution ... now they refuse to comply with the courts decision .....


    No ... they are not actively trying to hide anything ......

    BTW PB is where the box was found in a closet however that may be fake news, it may have been a sealed box of provisional ballot supplies, not actual ballots. I kinda believe this to be the case ... however PB is where poll workers where caught filling out "replacement" ballots in a private room with no observers ... there are 15000 more votes cast in PB than ballots reported ...

    @Orangeman - I woulda thought after the 2000 election the officials would have counting votes down cold -1,2,3....WTF??? ;(:00008172:


    In Broward county and a to a lesser extent Palm Beach the count isn't not how many votes where cast... it's how many do we need to win ....


    I mentioned the problems had already started in my morning after the election post ..... X/


    This lies in the lap of two officials who should have been removed a long time ago.


    Simple fact state elections laws have been broken, early and mail ballots where required to be counted and uploaded within 30 minuted of poles closing - still not done, new ballots where filled out in both counties to replace "damaged" or "unclear" submissions in private without party observers per state law, and vote tally's (total number of votes cast/counted/to be counted) have been changing since poles closed and the records have been spirited away with refusals to allow inspection, another violation of state law. They can't even answer how many ballots where cast, the very first priority of their job ......


    Judge just ruled in favor of Scott and Broward has until 7pm tonight to turn over all records for inspection and reproduction with open ended further action .....

    And just like that Rosenstein is no longer overseeing the Russian Collusion investigation.

    .


    Since its wrapping up anyway wouldn't it be sweet revenge to announce later tonight, after their meeting, that Rosenstein is being left to oversee the Special Council to its conclusion ..... of course after enough time has gone by to make certain Schiff heads look like idiots for mouthing off before knowing the facts.....again.....

    Honestly the Dems winning the house makes Trumps chance of reelection better. Now if nothing gets done he has someone to blame.

    .


    Republicans lost the House because they failed (mostly/so far) on health care after running on it for so long .... the Democrats put all/most of their eggs in this same basket this cycle saying if we give it back to them they WILL fix it .....


    They have two years, if they don't do something big they will guarantee his re-election and give back the House in 2020 .....


    Can't wait for the Speaker fight ....

    Got 'em all .....


    FL did its part ......


    In state kept the Governors house, Senate, and AG, AGR, CFO, .....


    Fed gained a Senator, kept our local rep, and FL only lost two reps in the Miami area as expected but by very slim margins ....


    For our state it went as well as we could have asked .....


    Need to get rid of our local Supervisor of Elections like yesterday though ... things didn't go the way she wanted so our local election results are not updated online ....she did the same in '16 ..... ridiculous that locals need to search to find out what happened .....

    .........




    I lost my Senator pick, that's what I get for voting Republican.


    Irrespective of party (as you know substance means more than party) kudos to you for making the better choice, he did well and I hope he keeps at it ..... he would be an asset to all of us even outside of your state ....

    Maybe all the Dems should try this - I’ll buy Pelosi, Schumer, and Waters a can :00008172:

    Buddy of mine challenged him and 11 of his friends to a challenge ......


    50 foot hallway, they can all have as many cans of pepper spray as they like, him with a paintball gun ..... if he can hit them all before they stop him Levi never runs for another office ...


    My Buddy never heard back from Levi's campaign ......
