Rick Scott is FL's New Senator!

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) has defeated Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) in a nationally watched Senate race that triggered two recounts and a series of bitter legal and public relations battles.
The contest came to an end on Sunday as a noon deadline passed for county election officials to submit the results of a hand recount that showed Scott leading Nelson by about 10,000 votes or about 0.12 percentage.
The hand recount was ordered after a machine recount showed the two candidates separated by only about 12,600 votes, or 0.15 points.
The latest results cemented Scott’s victory in a hard-fought race that stretched nearly two weeks past Election Day, when he appeared to edge out Nelson by less than 1 point.
But as vote tallies continued to trickle in from heavily Democratic Broward and Palm Beach counties in the days that followed, Scott’s lead narrowed considerably, putting the race within the 0.5-point threshold required to trigger a recount.

It’s really mind boggling how many recounts we’re having to go through in this day and age.

The Democrats did this as a stress test of the system. They will bring their A game in 2020.

Also worth noting Scott won 45% of Hispanic vote.

Florida is doomed to turn blue at some point.

We'll keep fighting though.

So what’s the final senate break down? 52-48?

Yep and I know several Puerto Ricans that enjoy what capitalism does. Cuban decedents are right of most Republicans. They are not voting blue.
