Florida Senate race heads to a hand recount

Florida Senate race heads to a hand recount
By Max Greenwood - 11/15/18 05:09 PM EST

The Florida Senate race between Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Gov. Rick Scott (R) is heading to a hand recount after the latest round of machine tallies showed the two candidates still neck and neck.

Nelson and Scott were separated by a margin of about 0.15 percentage points, according to results of a machine recount released Thursday – a narrow enough margin to trigger a hand recount under state law.

The hand recount must be completed by Sunday, in time for a Nov. 20 deadline for state officials to certify the final election results.

A manual recount does not mean that every ballot is counted by hand. Instead, local election officials will sort through so-called overvotes and undervotes – ballots on which voters marked either more or fewer than the maximum number of selections allowed.

The race for agriculture commissioner is also heading for a hand recount after results on Thursday showed both candidates separated by just 0.06 points.

But the recount in Florida gubernatorial race showed Republican Ron DeSantis maintaining a lead over Democrat Andrew Gillum of about 0.41 points – over the threshold required for a hand recount.

Gillum isn't conceding yet. The Tallahassee mayor said on Thursday that tens of thousands of votes were not tallied in the recount, leaving the race up in the air.

And what with these undervotes? Enter their own choice in the blank? What a stupid system.

BTW isn't there enough overvoting going on already with the illegals and the dead vote?

Nice to see the Tallahassee Socialist mayor is history now and can't monkey this recount up.

It appears now that Lee County FL has also errored.  What's with the over votes and under votes?  Not quite understanding.

An overvote is when one selects more than one person in an individual contest.

An undervote is when one doesn't vote for anyone in an individual contest.

Don't forget there are conservatives involved in these things as well. Stealing elections isn't as easy as some people think. The Republicans are okay as long as they can figure out how to reach the electorate in future elections.
