Trump Criticizes Florida Senate Election Recount

President Donald Trump has lambasted Florida’s election recount process, calling it an attempt by Democrats to win a US Senate seat with fake votes.

Trump told reporters “there’s a lot of dishonesty” over contested votes in Broward County. However, there has been no evidence of voter fraud.

The gap between the two candidates – Republican Rick Scott and Democrat Bill Nelson – narrowed to 0.2% as of Friday as Broward County votes were counted.

Both candidates are suing the state.

Scott, who claimed victory on Tuesday, is suing officials over an election recount, while Nelson is suing over uncounted ballots.

Rick Scott was up by 50,000+ votes on Election Day, now they ‘found’ many votes and he is only up 15,000 votes,” Trump tweeted on Friday. “How come they never find Republican votes?”

Trump also tweeted that he would send his lawyers to Florida “to expose the fraud”, calling the Nelson campaign’s recount lawyer Marc Elias an election stealer.
