President Donald Trump has suggested that election fraud occurred in Florida’s Broward County, where election officials were two days late counting early voting and vote-by-mail ballots. Meanwhile, a judge has ordered the county to hand over ballot records in response to a GOP lawsuit.

“As soon as Democrats sent their best Election stealing lawyer, Marc Elias, to Broward County they miraculously started finding Democrat votes,” Trump wrote in a Nov. 9 tweet. “Don’t worry, Florida - I am sending much better lawyers to expose the FRAUD!”
