Anyone remember this? All the late afternoon exhortations from talk radio for the panhandle to get out and vote because the early day turnout was barely 50%? Even Drudge had a red headline "Low turnout in Florida panhandle". Final turnout for that area would be more than 90% I would love to see the internal data the Trump team had at that point, they must have known they would win the state if they could get the panhandle out.

And can you imagine this recount nonsense had he lost Florida? The lawsuits would be neverending.

It worked didnt it!

It also was the real first domino to fall on election night. When florida went red thats when the libs started to get worried.

I remember one of Trump's sons calling on the Panhandle to step up and get voting.

That's not really going out on a limb.
