It might be because they know what they did and what would be found out about them.

Thousands of absentee-ballots discovered in postal facility, declared invalid.

An anonymous tip led to the discovery of scores of absentee ballots in a mail distribution facility that pipe bombs traveled through after Miami-Dade County announced it finalized its vote counts for the 2018 midterms.
The Miami New Times reported that the Opa-locka mail distribution center was evacuated in October after Trump megafan Cesar Sayoc allegedly sent pipe bombs that passed through the facility.
That same center reportedly is still home to a huge number of uncounted mail-in ballots. Two sources that spoke to the New Times estimated the total could be in the hundreds or thousands.
Local activists demonstrated outside the mail facility and at the Miami-Dade County Elections Department over the uncounted ballots but according to an official with the Elections Department, the ballots are now invalid.

(26,045 posts)They know they'll lose if all the votes get counted, so they're doing all they can to make sure that never happens.

(1,159 posts)By allowing the invalidation of votes which remained unprocessed as a direct result of a bomb threat at the postal facility, they are effectively ENCOURAGING targeted bomb threats at other postal facilities, all timed to create similar vote invalidations in particular areas.

(14,565 posts)The certification date was too close to election day.
That forces the trailing candidate to enter the contest phase, which is extraordinarily more unlikely as a remedy, even if Anthony Scalia was too stupid to understand that in oral argument. I always laughed when he was touted as an intellectual, when it was solely based on words and not math or probability, where he stood out as a dunce multiple times

(14,565 posts)None of this is new to him, or surprising from him. Just imagine what he'll be like on the senate floor, if he gets there.
It was disgusting that we allowed Scott to remake his image over the past 2 years. Otherwise he loses this race by a few points and we aren't bothering with a recount.

The bomber was directed to send the through that post office in order to disrupt the proper flow and counting of absentee ballots. Very crafty on the part of the trumpists.
