Governor Rick Scott isn’t screwing around. He just filed two more lawsuits in the Florida recount after already winning two.
Here are the details from the Hill:
Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) filed two emergency motions in Palm Beach and Broward County courts on Sunday, ramping up legal efforts as recounts began in the state’s contested Senate race.
The motions request that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and county sheriffs impound and secure all voting machines, ballots and tabulating devices when they are not in use.
Scott’s campaign also filed a complaint in Broward County court asking a judge to bar the county canvassing board from including ballots counted after a noon Saturday deadline in the final vote tally.
“The Broward and Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections has already demonstrated a blatant disregard for Florida’s elections laws, making it more important than ever that we continue to do everything possible to prevent fraud and ensure this recount is operated responsibly,” Chris Hartline, a spokesman for Scott’s campaign, said in a statement.
“Senator-Elect Rick Scott will continue to fight to protect the will of Florida voters.”
It’s really annoying to see the media side with the democrats saying that Republicans are trying to stop every vote from being counted when Scott has already WON two lawsuits against Broward and Palm Beach counties. If they’re not doing anything wrong when they does he keep winning lawsuits? Idiots.
