Scott to recuse himself from certifying Florida election results
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 11/14/18 12:09 PM EST

Gov. Rick Scott (R) will step down from the Florida Elections Canvassing Commission, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The commission is responsible for certifying each federal, state and multi-county election. Scott's decision to leave means he will not have to certify the results of his own race for Senate.

Scott's lawyer told U.S. District Judge Mark Walker that the governor plans to recuse himself from the process just like he did in 2014.

Normally the commission consists of Scott and two members of the Cabinet that he chooses.

In 2014, since all three members of the commission were up for election, he appointed then-state Senate President Don Gaetz, Sen. Rob Bradley and Sen. Kelli Stargel to certify results.

His job as Governor was to serve the people, not be a saint.

He should resign as Governor immediately.

No. We have 51. We have this seat for 52, and the Mississippi runoff for 53. Even if we lose those we still have 51

So Much LOL.  It's the right move.  It's the smart move, and the GOP will never forgive him.  Stick a fork in yourself Rick.  You're done in the party of Trump.
