The Florida recount deadline passed on Thursday afternoon with at least one of the state's largest counties unable to complete the task.Florida law stipulates that any races with margins outside 0.25% can now be certified by law. Races that are still within that range will head to a manual recount of overvotes and undervotes to be completed by Sunday at noon.Election boards in every Florida county have been using voting machines to recount ballots this week, with some of the larger counties working all day and night. There are currently three statewide races -- the contests between Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott for Senate; Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum and Republican former Rep. Ron DeSantis for governor; Republican Matt Caldwell and Democrat Nikki Fried for agriculture commissioner -- that were within the .5% margin required for a statewide machine recount.The fiery race between DeSantis and Gillum is the most likely to come to a formal end. The Republican led by roughly 33,000 votes after the initial count. Gillum, who conceded the race on election night before taking back his concession a few days later, tweeted on Wednesday, "I believe that we win," hinting that he believes the gap could narrow. But there is no evidence yet that he made up enough ground to extend the fight.The two other contests are significantly closer and appear likely to head to a hand recount. Nelson and Scott are divided by roughly 12,000 votes, which is why most of the flurry of recent legal action has been spun out of their race.Palm Beach County missed the deadline, which a court ruled on Thursday afternoon will not be extended.Hours before the cutoff, a federal judge in Tallahassee rejected a Democratic motion to extend the deadline beyond 3 p.m., meaning last week's unofficial count out of Palm Beach County will likely stand.Nelson's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee argued that deadlines for both the machine and subsequent hand recounts should be lifted for however long is determined is necessary by the counties."The Florida legislature chose to define emergency narrowly -- only as an event that results or may result in substantial injury or harm to the population or substantial damage to or loss of property," Judge Mark Walker wrote in explaining his decision. "The emergency exception does not apply in this case, where the delay is the result of outdated and malfunctioning vote-counting technology."Palm Beach County has been hampered repeatedly by faltering machinery and shoddy infrastructure.Susan Bucher, the county's supervisor of elections, told reporters on Thursday she takes "full responsibility" if the county fails to recount before today's deadline."As a supervisor I take full responsibility. That's my job. It was not for lack of human effort ... it was so incredible, and I thank everybody who participated," she told CNN's Rosa Flores during a press conference.Bucher told reporters a little more than 24 hours before the cut-off, slated for 3 p.m. on Thursday, that she was in "prayer mode." On Sunday, hours after the recount began, Bucher said that completing the process would be "impossible."CNN has not called the Senate race between incumbent Nelson and his challenger, Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Before the recount began, Scott led Nelson by around 12,000 votes. The margin in the gubernatorial race between Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum, which is also subject of the recount, is larger, with DeSantis up on Gillum by around 33,000 votes.Bucher's worries were compounded on Tuesday when the county's old and overheated machines malfunctioned, forcing officials to start their recount of early votes from scratch. By Wednesday, the already distant hopes of an on-time finish seemed to be slipping away.CNN observed long stretches of inaction on the floor of the cavernous facility which has been occupied by reporters, lawyers and operatives from both parties, and volunteers who have been working -- when the hardware complies -- day and night."It's an unusual request to make of your staff. You know, can you leave your kids behind, stay here and I'll feed you sub sandwiches and pizza and you'll work your brains out," Bucher said on Wednesday. "We're trying to meet a deadline that really reasonably shouldn't be there."Democrats agree -- and will make their case in a federal court in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday morning at 9 a.m.Lawyers for Nelson's campaign and the Democratic Senate campaign arm are suing to allow all 67 counties the time they say is required to complete their recounts. According to a legal filing, the Democrats will argue that enforcement of the current deadlines, including another on Sunday at noon for a potential hand review, would violate the constitutional rights of "thousands of Florida voters at risk of disenfranchisement in the 2018 general election."If their suit is rejected and Palm Beach County fails to complete its work on schedule, the state is expected to certify the unofficial results as initially reported ahead of the recount.A spokeswoman for the Florida Department of State told CNN on Sunday that Florida law does not give the secretary of state the authority to grant extensions.Palm Beach County GOP Chairman Michael Barnett told CNN on Sunday afternoon that a blown deadline would be "good news for Republicans, because our candidates (for Senate and governor) are ahead.""If they're not able to meet the deadline, the secretary of state of Florida may go ahead and certify the elections for our candidates," Barnett said. "In that case, you can bet your butt there will be lawsuits filed everywhere."Barnett, who was inside the facility along with Democrats early on in the recount, was critical of the infrastructure there from the start."It's an outdated process," he said. "The machinery is old. They don't have enough updated machinery to go through all the ballots to run one election, let alone all three statewide races."As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, at least 48 of Florida's 67 counties had finished their recounts. Every one of them reached by CNN -- with the exception of Palm Beach -- expressed confidence they would get in under the wire.In a different lawsuit, a federal judge in Florida ruled Thursday that the state must give voters whose mismatched signatures disqualified their provisional and mail-in ballots until Saturday at 5 p.m. ET to correct those signature problems -- extending the deadline by two days. 6536

The Girl Scouts of the USA revealed on Tuesday that a French-toast inspired cookie is coming in 2021.In a press release, the organization said the "Toast-Yay!" cookie, which is "dipped in delicious icing and full of flavor in every bite," will be available in select areas sometime next year.In March, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the organization switched to online sales.According to the release, the 2021 cookie season will again turn to sell cookies online and through "virtual cookie booths" on social media."Many girls will offer socially distant or contactless sales and delivery options," the Girl Scouts said in the release. "If local guidelines allow, in-person sales may also be available in certain areas, keeping girls’ safety top priority."The start of the yearly cookie season is typically in January. Still, the organization said the timing and product availability could vary, but you can check your local area to see about a specific cookie. 971

The cost of education can last a lifetime, as many people into their 50s and 60s are finding out.According to Federal Reserve, 2.8 million people in the U.S. over the age of 60 are sitting on some amount of student debt, a number that quadrupled from 700,000 in 2005 and continues to grow.“This is really a sledgehammer against the older generation in more ways than one,” says Alan Collinge, creator of online advocacy group for borrowers Student Loan Justice.Collinge has been campaigning for change surrounding laws for student loans since 2005, after trying to figure out a way to pay off his own crippling college costs.“It’s a really devastating phenomenon, and I’m seeing it destroy, literally wreck, families across the country,” Collinge says. In 2018, Americans over the age of 50 owed more than 0 billion in student loans, up from billion in 2004, according to the Federal Reserve.And most can’t afford to pay, forcing retirees to continue to work well past retirement age.“The problem has become exponentially worse since we began this fight 13 years ago,” he says.In Collinge’s group, he hears stories from people ages 18 to 80 years old, who can hardly afford to live, let alone retire.“The federal government can and does garnish Social Security from seniors as a result of their student loans, so we’re hearing stories from people who at the end of the month they’re unable to buy medicine even unable to pay their rent,” Collinge says, “What kind of country does this to their senior people?”On top of that, Collinge says more people in their 50s and 60s are taking out Parent Plus loans to help their children and grandchildren pay for college, which adds to the financial burden.“This is a nationally threatening phenomenon,” he said. Through his advocacy group, he tries to offer help and resources to folks who are struggling. He’s currently on a road tour talking to legislators around the country, encouraging them to reform borrower laws, expand their rights and get colleges to crack down on sky-high tuition costs.“Student loans are the only loans in the country not subject to bankruptcy, why is that? The numbers are just getting so astonishing now, I can only hope that the new Congress puts this issue front and center and doesn’t get distracted by the palace intrigue because this is a problem affecting real people it just won’t wait any longer.” 2413

The COVID-19 death of the speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives has raised fears that other members of one of the world's largest legislatures might have been exposed at their swearing-in ceremony last week. A medical examiner announced the cause of death Thursday of 71-year-old Dick Hinch. Hinch was found dead in his home.He was photographed at the outdoor swearing-in wearing a mask improperly, without it covering both his nose and mouth. Dozens reportedly attended without wearing masks at all. Several Republican lawmakers have tested positive after attending an indoor meeting in late November where many attendees didn't wear masks. One Republican representative says Hinch's death may be a result of “peer pressure exerted by those in the Republican Party who refuse to take reasonable precautions."At a news conference Thursday, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, a fellow Republican, called Hinch a "tireless leader" and close friend. He then said Hinch's death was a "cautionary tale" about not wearing a mask properly.“For those who are just out there doing the opposite just to make some ridiculous political point, it is horribly wrong,” Sununu said. “Please use your heads. Don’t act like a bunch of children, frankly.”Other state Republicans were harsher in their messaging. Representative William Marsh, a retired doctor, posted on Twitter, “Those in our caucus who refused to take precautions are responsible for Dick Hinch’s death." 1479

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted businesses and industries around the country as unemployment rates are at historic highs and many are wondering how and when our economy will recover."One of the biggest impacts is going to be on workers' wages. They’re not going to recover for years. So we’re going to see zero wage increases probably for several years moving forward more than the Great Recession (of 2008 and 2009) because this hit was more than the Great Recession," says Jack Strauss, the Chair of Applied Economics at the University of Denver.Strauss predicts wages will likely stay stagnant in almost all industries. In some cases, some people will see their wages go down."This is the first time many are being cut. University of Arizona, University of Denver, where I’m from, and other universities, we have had wage cuts of 5-10%. Didn’t happen in 2008; we were frozen. But this is the first time 5-10%" says Strauss.In California, the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board works to help businesses find qualified workers and the unemployed find their next job. Executive Director Blake Konczal says he doesn't expect people to start to really look for another job until unemployment benefits run dry. But once they do, there will be a mad dash for any available jobs."When you’re looking for work, when unemployment is that rampant, the question regrettably isn’t, ‘Why aren’t I getting a higher wage?’ People want a wage," says Konczal.The good news, though, is that economists don't expect the cost of living to increase much.“Because wages have been low, demand has been low, so the cost of living has only gone up gradually," says Strauss.But with high unemployment and few wage increases, people will likely be spending less."That negative effect will be moving forward in a lot of industries relying on discretionary items because you're still going to buy food, because that’s a necessity, but you’re not going to go on a vacation, you’re not going to buy a new car," says Strauss.Konczal is worried about how this economic downturn will affect small businesses…“And the people who worked for them,” Konczal said. “In nine out of 10 times those types of businesses are the strength of our economy, sets us apart. But in this particular quixotic COVID environment, they’re the ones who are really getting hammered."Even before the pandemic, experts say there was still a high demand for qualified employees. And just like the Great Recession, our new economic reality could have some people heading back to school in order to land a job or higher wage. 2585
