Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, refusing to concede defeat in the race that he lost Tuesday to Republican Gov. Rick Scott for Nelson’s Senate seat, called for a recount. Nelson’s office released a statement from him saying that Scott had prematurely declared victory in the election. The statement also said that Nelson’s campaign wants “observers in all 67 counties watching for any irregularities, mistakes or unusual partisan activities.”
After the polls had closed, Scott simply stated, “It’s hard to believe we’re here tonight. This campaign is behind us and that’s where we’re going to leave it.”
