Nelson lawyer predicts hand recount in Florida Senate race starting Sunday

Republican Gov. Rick Scott’s lead over Democrat Bill Nelson has narrowed to 15,068 votes out of more than 8 million cast in a race that is likely headed for a hand recount beginning on Sunday, Nelson’s lawyer said Friday.

Nelson, the Senate incumbent who has held the seat since 2000, has refused to concede the race. His lawyer, Marc Elias, told reporters Friday that the upcoming machine recount of all ballots this weekend will shrink Scott’s lead even further and below the 0.25 percent variance that will trigger a hand recount.

The hand recount will show Nelson won the election, he predicted.

“If I had to place a bet, it’s more likely than not Senator Nelson will prevail in a recount and be sworn in to another term in January," Elias said.

Scott and Florida Republicans are furious at the turn of events.

Moral of the story is you cant kill rats or vampires in corrupt FL
