[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.

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.

Serious prison time is warranted if even half the claims are true. Broward County voters should hang their heads in shame.
From early last week. Much more detail about this story from two weeks ago
[Forbes] Last week brought new revelations regarding Operation Choke Point, the Obama administration’s effort to freeze politically disfavored businesses out of the financial system. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.), who helped lead a multi-year effort to shut the program down, highlighted some of theses newest findings and pointed out that stopping Operation Choke Point is not a partisan issue.
Luetkemeyer’s legislation to prevent a redo of Choke Point – The Financial Institution Customer Protection Act of 2017 – overwhelmingly passed the House, with only two nay votes. Operation Choke Point was an egregious affront to the rule of law, so it is good to see that so many lawmakers want to prevent a repeat.
For those unfamiliar, Choke Point consisted of bureaucrats in several independent federal agencies taking it upon themselves to shut legal businesses – such as payday lenders and firearms dealers – out of the banking system. Given the nature of the U.S. regulatory framework, this operation was easy to pull off.
