Rick Scott has officially recused himself from the election results, considering he’s the current governor of Florida:
FOX NEWS – Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced Wednesday he will recuse himself from certifying the results of his own election. The news comes as 67 counties in Florida are racing to meet a Thursday 3 p.m. recount deadline.
Scott had been largely silent about his role on the canvassing commission – a three-member board that signs off on the results of each federal, state and county election. The board is slated to meet on Tuesday to certify the results of the recount.
Shortly before noon, he tweeted: “I recused myself from certifying results on the Elections Canvassing Commission in 2014, and I will do so again this year. This is nothing new. Bill Nelson is confused and doesn’t even know how Florida works- I have no role in supervising/overseeing the ongoing recount process.”
I think this is probably for the best.
What I’ve been hearing is that both his and DeSantis’ lead is so much that they are going to win, no matter what. There just aren’t enough votes in play to risk a loss, even after a recount.
