COVID cover-up: @GovRonDeSantis aide pressured @MiamiHerald's law firm @Holland_Knight to quash public records lawsuit that would force state to divulge elder-care facilities with positive coronavirus tests #BecauseFlorida miamiherald.com/news/coronavir…
"The back-door pressure — through an attorney that had no involvement in the case — paid off.

The law firm, Holland & Knight, told Sanford Bohrer, a senior partner with decades of representing the Miami Herald, to stand down and abandon the lawsuit."
"DeSantis's General Counsel Joe Jacquot sought to short-circuit the litigation. He didn’t call the lawyer who drafted the suit, but another Holland & Knight lawyer, George Meros; who's represented the state on numerous matters, including recent efforts to undermine Amendment 4."

"@HealthyFla said that, as of Monday, 33 Floridians living in a skilled nursing or ALF tested positive for coronavirus... At least three long-term care residents have died from the infection. But that’s about all health administrators, and @GovRonDeSantis, are saying."

Ok I need the trusted news sources I lean on to tell me how real this is: tdmsresearch.com
A website that has up-to-date extensive data indicating Dem #electionfraud based on actual vote total differentials to exit polls in almost every state WAY outside accepted range
It indicates the potential for vote flipping, plus is always in Biden’s favor and shows a lower percentage for Bernie - almost across the board. There is no state in which it works in Bernie’s favor (ie Bernie outperformed the exit poll by the acceptable range.
MI - where Biden won, but not by nearly as big a margin. If you believe the Buzzfeed “glitch” was really a glitch.
