Lindsey Graham Wants Rick Scott in Senate GOP Meetings Ahead of Recount Deadlines
S.C. senator thinks Scott will win, and should take part in leadership elections
Sen. Lindsey Graham said that Florida Gov. Rick Scott should make plans to come up to D.C. to participate in next week’s Senate Republican Conference meetings.
That includes the leadership elections for the 116th Congress, which are scheduled for Wednesday morning.
“If I were Rick, I would come up and participate, absolutely. You know, once the vote total is sent to the secretary of state and he has a 13,500 vote or whatever it is lead, yes I would participate,†Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said. “If the recount goes, the recount goes.â€
“I’m no Florida law voting expert, but I would be shocked if you could ... overturn 13,500 votes in a recount,†Graham said on a Saturday conference call organized by Scott’s campaign for the Senate seat currently held by Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.
