I’ll never understand a stance like this. I’m here in Florida and elections are always a flustercuck. But when I hear people trying to call out the other side it makes me laugh. Saw a liberal call out Martha McSally in AZ for not conceding a close race to her Democratic opponent. Then in turn laud Gillum and Abrams for not conceding their close races. Then heard Trump saw how Democrats in Florida are trying to steal the election that was in the margin for a recount but in the next breath mention that the aforementioned AZ election needs to be recounted because of how close it was.

See, what I’m saying is eveyone is full of sh!t! But also to enlighten on the Florida numbers. There were circumstances that caused thousands of votes to go uncounted so the candidates were trying to get all the votes counted before concession. Makes sense to me. After Gillum realized things were going nowhere he conceded. Even now the FL Senate votes are being counted because my state requires all Supervisors Of Elections to be at least 300 years old and the voting machines and counters to be twice that.

On Wednesday there was a deadline of 3:00 PM for all votes to be counted and one local polling place showed up 2 hours late to start the count. Another polling place hemmed and hawed about votes being thrown out because they were turned in at 3:02 instead of by the 3:00 deadline. Why? You were supposed to have your counts by November 6th. You have already been given enough time! But that’s why the Democrats here were crying. Because the people who ran the show screwed it up. This really puts a damper on things for 1st time voters here. All that time in line and their vote was probably thrown out.

There's a big difference between hypocrisy, your first example, and being able to acknowledge all the fishy crap going on.  In Arizona, there was a deadline for "fixing" ballots that were incorrectly filled out or the signature didn't match.  They continued to fix them well past the deadline.  Reps filed a lawsuit to stop it.  Unfortunately, Reps came up with an agreement to allow all counties to continue fixing the ballots for another week, foolishly thinking it would help McSally, something I kept hearing from different sources.  It didn't.  But, that's on them.  No point in focusing on it too much. 

In Georgia, you had a big sore loser in Abrams.  She wouldn't except that she lost, so kept desperately looking for votes from anywhere in a vain attempt to get Kemp under 50%.  Even going so far as to take a lawsuit to a favorable judge to get ballots that were deemed invalid to be counted.  And even when that wasn't enough, she still wouldn't concede, instead blaming incompetence for her loss, which I have not heard any credible claims of.  So, Georgia is just saying they are moving on and Kemp won, with or without her concession.

And the OP pretty clearly lays out the shady dealings in Florida.
