Nelson calls for recount in Florida Senate race
CNN ^ | November 7, 2018 | Caroline Kelly

Posted on 11/07/2018 8:26:03 AM PST by C19fan

Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson called Wednesday for a recount in his race for re-election against Republican Gov. Rick Scott.

In a statement from Nelson's office, the longtime incumbent said Scott had prematurely declared victory in the race, which CNN has not yet called. In Florida, an automatic recount is triggered when the final margin is less than .5% and is not triggered by candidate requests. Votes were still being counted Wednesday morning, but Scott's lead was within that margin, according to CNN projections. The initial vote count won't be finalized until Saturday at noon.

If Nelson does lose, at least he got a shuttle flight out of his time on the Hill.

And testicles. I’m glad he won, but I’m stilled pissed off at his anti- 2nd reactions.

Yeah, voted for Scott, but raising the age to by a gun to 21, he deserves a b*tch slapping for that. Before my Mom’s uncle turned 21 he was in the same situation as many other young men his age, being shot at by Nazis. Fortunately he was able to take out a few of them and was Honorably discharged.

If Gore had held WV... he would have held the presidency... A state that had NOT GONE FOR A FIRST TERM REPUBLICAN SINCE THE 1920’s!!

But The Dems tossed aside coal, blue dogs and the working white class during Clinton’s reign... that was the warning sign that the Dems missed in 2000... and Obama’s identity politics wins, allowed them to further ignore the reality of the path they were on.
