Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott is filing three more lawsuits against county election officials as the recounting of votes in Florida gets underway for three midterm election contests.
Scott is running for the U.S. Senate seat against incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson. When a recount of the Senate votes was ordered on Nov. 10, Scott held a slim lead over Nelson at 12,500 votes, or 0.15 percent. His narrow lead of less than 0.5 percent triggered a recount as per Florida law.
