| Florida orders recount in contentious senate, governor races |
| 2018-11-11 |
| [Al Jazeera] Authorities in Florida have ordered a machine recount of votes in its neck-and-neck race for the US senate seat and governor's office amid allegations of fraud from the candidates. State Secretary Ken Detzner said Florida's 67 counties will submit unofficial totals by 17:00 GMT on Saturday, while the results will be declared by 20:00 GMT on Thursday. The announcement was made after unofficial results in both races fell within the margin that triggers a recount, according to the state's law. In the race for governor, former US Representative Ron DeSantis led his Democrat rival and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum by a margin of 0.41 percent. For the senate seat, Florida's current Republican Governor Rick Scott has seen his lead narrow over incumbent Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat, to about 12,500 votes, or 0.15 percent. |

| #4 Broward County voters should hang their heads in shame. Hung by the head might solve a number of problems. |

| #3 Broward County voters should hang their heads in shame. You'd think so but I'm afraid they're proud of it. |

| #2 Serious prison time is warranted if even half the claims are true. Broward County voters should hang their heads in shame. |

| #1 How can any recount be accurate when it's been revealed that illegals are having their votes included, that provisional votes have been separated from envelopes preventing checking signatures, finding ballots in trunks of cars, etc etc. And 'they' worry about Russia interference hah. As Han Solo said; "I've got a bad feeling about this" |
