There were only two times the USA needed the signatures of every state of the union; when the Declaration of Independence was written and then followed by the USA Constitution. 

Electing the President of the USA only requires 270 electoral votes. In this case, President Obama has not only enough electoral votes without Florida, he has the popular vote. 

Florida is dangerously close to being irrelevant.

The citizens of Florida have a right to have their votes count.

MIAMI (AP) — Elections officials in nine Florida counties (click here) are still tallying absentee ballots, after the presidential race was decided nationally.

President Barack Obama held a slim lead in Florida early Wednesday, but he didn’t need the largest swing state to win re-election. Instead, he captured several other battleground states.

State elections officials said absentee ballots were still being tallied in nine countries across the state.

They included Miami-Dade County, where elections officials counted through the night and had about 20,000 absentee ballots left to tally early Wednesday.

Pinellas County officials say they’ll reconvene Wednesday at 9 a.m. to tally more than 9,000 absentee ballots received on Election Day.

It is the First Lady's fault.
