Gingrich on Fla. Recount: You Couldn’t Make It up if You Were Writing a Novel; ‘Fiasco’

EXCERPT:

GINGRICH: "You know, you almost couldn’t make it up if you were writing a novel. This is the second time that Broward County has been a total disaster and every time you turn around there is something weird going on. How do you — I almost feel sad for them. How do you miss a deadline by two minutes? You miss it by two hours or five hours, but two minutes? The whole thing is a fiasco. I think Rick Scott will be the senator. The numbers are much bigger than have ever been changed in a recount in American history. So I think in the end he will be the senator. But it really makes the whole process of elections in Florida obviously in need of significant overhaul and in particular in three counties. Most of the state seems to get it and most of the state seems to do their job calmly, efficiently. But in those three counties there is just consistently a mess. And I hope that the new governor, the new attorney general will take steps along with the secretary of state to clean it up before the presidential election in 2020."
