I believe they are pretty much done counting, not sure what is going on. Obama wins FL I believe. It' is showing 100% of the precints reporting and Obama at 49.8% to Romney 49.3%. It's more over 100,000 votes difference and should not bring a recount. Can't put it past this state, FloriDUH!
Barr got almost 8000 votes here!

This is what bothers me....
Voter Suppression
A stunning 23 percent of African Americans, the highest figure in the nation, cannot vote due to laws on felon disenfranchisement in Florida. Gov. Rick Scott (R) has made it harder for ex-felons to restore their eligibility and in 2011 signed a law cutting early voting days nearly in half. The result has been chaos during early voting in places like Miami-Dade County, where people have waited in line for as many as eight hours. Florida also has a photo ID law.
And then....the other votes that could have gone eitherway...
70,953 that didn't go to Obama or Romney that went to other candidates.
Right now,
The count is Obama leads by 47261
with 71278 left to be counted
which is a difference of 24017 votes...
I often wonder if the republicans pay and support other candidates to
take away from the dems...that is 70k plus votes.
or, to rig the machines to a loss. scramble the numbers etc..put em somewhere
It is a matter of priciple....that bothers me. the truths that exist and that are denied.
thank God for the majority population and that their votes got counted.
