Scott holds 15,000 vote lead in Senate race

November 9, 2018

By NSF Staff

After announcing late Thursday that his campaign has filed lawsuits against elections supervisors in Broward and Palm Beach counties, Republican Gov. Rick Scott held a 15,074-vote lead Friday morning in his bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, according to numbers posted on the state Division of Elections website. With 8,174,460 votes tallied, Scott had 4,094,767 to 4,079,693 for Nelson as of 7 a.m. Friday. That narrow margin, 50.09 percent to 49.91 percent, would trigger an automatic recount. Counties have until noon Saturday to submit unofficial results to the state Division of Elections. Scott held a news conference Thursday night to announce that his campaign has filed lawsuits over the way Broward and Palm Beach elections supervisors are handling the ballot-counting process.
