Gillum repeatedly stressed that his campaign was not just about winning — which he did not accomplish — but also about contributing to the progressive movement going forward. (REPORT: Florida Democrats Have ‘Lawyered Up’ In Possible Election Fraud Investigation).

Lakeisha Sorey, the teacher who found the “Provisional Ballots” box, called Andrew Gillum’s friend Shevrin Jones for assistance during the emergency. How convenient!
