I’m glad Trump is not taking it lying down but I don’t think the DOJ can legally just go in there and stop it. I think the GOP has to get a court to issue an injunction to halt the count and then law enforcement could go in and seal the place off.
I’m sure that’s exactly what the Democrats would do. In fact they’d go “judge shopping” to find the right judge. Since election laws are both a state and federal thing, it could probably be either a FL or Federal judge. Is anyone in the GOP even thinking of doing that? It probably would have already happened by now if the Democrats were the ones who were ahead.
Also why hasn’t Scott issued a statement - only Rubio?
Gov. Scott had a press conference tonight...several threads already posted.
Scott has filed a lawsuit and asked for an emergency hearing.

Rick Scott sues Broward County elections chief, citing concern of ‘rampant fraud’
Gov. Rick Scott’s campaign for Senate filed a lawsuit Thursday night against Broward County’s election head and questioned whether “rampant fraud” could be happening with the counting of votes in South Florida’s Democratic stronghold counties.
Scott, a Republican, holds a 15,079 vote advantage over incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.
In a news conference at the governor’s mansion, Scott questioned how “votes are coming out of nowhere” in Democratic-leaning Broward and Palm Beach counties. He said he has ordered the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate. He blasted Palm Beach elections chief Susan Bucher and Broward elections head Brenda Snipes for what he called “incompetence.”
