Florida's Senate race between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson might require a recount




The race for U.S. Senate in Florida between Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Rick Scott is too close to call....

As of 4:45 a.m. Wednesday, Scott's lead is 38,717 votes out of more than 8 million cast - a 0.48 margin.

Under state law in Florida, a recount is mandatory if the winning candidate's margin is less than 0.5 percentage points....

Nelson has not publicly conceded. Nelson's campaign staff said a full statement would be coming Wednesday morning.

Gillum and Nelson imo exposes the real racism in FL.

We hoped that Gillum would give Nelson coattails. Instead, Nelson outperformed Gillum -even with near (?) historic African American turnout - exposing all those pockets of blatant-in-your-face racism throughout FL. Oh, and the more subtle kind.

I'm so sad for the state.
