We're awaiting the start of a conference call with Judge Hinkle in the case of @NelsonforSenate suing the state over vote count, signature matching, etc.

@NelsonForSenate Nelson att'y wants struck ballots (bc of sig mismatch) to be included in any recount. Also worried about noon Saturday deadline in state law for SoEs to turn in "unofficial" returns. #FlaPol
@NelsonForSenate Atty's for @AGPamBondi "welcome an opportunity to be heard on this." Trying to get a written brief in tomorrow. No need seen to rule on TRO in next 24 hours, however. #FlaPol
@NelsonForSenate @AGPamBondi "The object of the endeavor is to get this right," Hinkle says, rather than rush to decide on granting an injunction before tomorrow. "It's far more important to do this well." #FlaPol
@NelsonForSenate @AGPamBondi Nelson's side "wants a resolution as quickly possible" when asked about oral argument (in the preliminary part of the case). State just wants to defend legality of statute on signatures. #FlaPol
@NelsonForSenate @AGPamBondi Hinkle asks about mechanics of a rejected ballot bc of a mismatched signature. State says those ballots are still sealed in envelopes. Hinkle asks, how do people find out, how do they fix it? State says it varies. #FlaPol
@NelsonForSenate @AGPamBondi Hinkle brings up "Bush v. Gore" but I couldn't hear the context. Connection getting static-y. #FlaPol
@NelsonForSenate @AGPamBondi Doesn't sound to me like Hinkle is going to rule on anything before noon Saturday. Talking about supplementing briefs on Monday. Sets next hearing for 1 PM next Wed. We're adjourned. #FlaPol
