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.

In Miami where it doesn’t matter
You don’t suppose the people who were doing the Florida recount in 2000 will be doing it again, do you?
It is automatic. But I heard he has conceded again.
------------
Because they are entirely without scruples and will cheat. They lose elections but win recounts.

Exactly right!
The DemonRats will always be the party of slavers and segregationists who smile sweetly but lie, cheat and steal without batting an eye. They crave power more than anything and will stop at nothing to achieve it. Never show kindness or display any sense of fair play to them; they will never return it and view it only as weakness on our part.
I'm unconceding... I want statewide hand recounts, but ONLY in the four counties I did best in... I'm gonna take my case to the Florida Supreme Court if I don't get my way.... do we still have punch cards? If so, all the dimbled chads should be counted as votes for Bill Nelson. And we need to throw out any overseas military ballots cast for my opponent. And, uh, oh yeah, I invented the internet.
This is their chance to “find” a few thousand votes in those warehouses and truck of cars.
Hanging Chads,,,here we go.
No punch cards are used in Florida. For the last 3 elections we went to fill in the circle computer scanned operation with the only problems created are people not registering properly and trying to vote at the wrong precent...
I personaly have worked the last 3 elections as the poll deputy.....
Then why are we having a recount?
I suppose its within the 1% statutory trigger for recount. But why is Nelson hiring hanging chad lawyer Elias?
What a farce, at midnight last night only Palm beach County was left with 99% reported. That’s 1 %. The total count was over 600,000 votes. 1 % is @ 6,000 votes. Scott was ahead by 57,000. Suddenly overnight they find a not of 22.000 votes.
Surely to God the people of Fl are not going to let this POS fabricate 35,000 votes out of thin air. Why are ballots found after the count has finished even allowed to be counted, as they have clearly not been in the legal chain of custody.
which CNN has not yet called

CNN doesn’t get to be the final judge in who won or not. They can not call this ...ever, but that doesn’t mean Scott lost.
Naaaah... Some of the Dem hacks from 2000 have gone to that great hanging chad in the sky. Not enough people have the right experience to
perform a proper fraud.
Geezus, what year did Nelson pass away?
That dude is way beyond his expiration date.
Gore was entitled to a recount cause he was down like less than 2K. Nelson is down 30K! Sore loser.
30K lead for Scott? I’m not too worried. Uckfay Ouyay Soon to be Former Senator Nelson.
Pardon my pig latin.
McSally up close to 16K 99% in. We need our 54 (GD Montana and WV) Senate seats are worth our new IL Governor’s weight in gold.
54 means Murkowski and Collins can go screw if they don’t like a MAGA Judge or Cabinet pick.
Florida notes
GIllum and Nelson won in Duval (Jacksonville), Pinnellas (St. Pete) and St. Lucie and still lost, If you told me that I would have said no way. Scott carried Monroe (the keys) by only 1 vote.
The vote totals
Scott 4,081,871
Nelson 4,051,607
DeSantis 4,059,314
Gillum 4,008,435
DeSantis behind Scott by some 22500 but look at Gillum, 43K behind Nelson. Major bright spot for us winning FL.
The old fossil won’t win the recount either.
SENATOR SCOTT CAN GO AHEAD WITH HIS PLANS TO FIND HOUSING IN WASHINGTON D.C.
“How many ballots will they find in the trunks of cars this time?
And I’m sure they will all be for Nelson.”
