A Floridan Democrat Bill Nelson called Wednesday for a recount in his race for re-election to the US Senate against Republican Governor Rick Scott in the , United States elections.
The race during Tuesday’s midterm US election was one of America’s most-watched, with the outgoing governor Scott mounting a tough challenge against three-time incumbent Nelson.
As of November 7 at 9:14 pm Scott narrowly led Nelson by 0.4 percentage points, with 99 percent of precincts reporting, according to The New York Times.
Marc Elias, a lawyer representing Nelson’s campaign. Stated:
“A significant number of US election ballots have not yet been counted and, because of the size of Florida, we believe the results of the election are unknown and require a recount,”
The Nelson camp’s statement said Scott had “prematurely” claimed victory on Tuesday, and cited media reports of balloting problems and other polling irregularities.
The statement explained state law requires a recount when the margin between candidates is less than a one-half percentage point.
