The people of Florida have spoken and I am so honored to have won a close but decisive victory. I will fight for Florida every day as your next U.S. Senator. It’s time Senator Nelson accepts these results and allows the state of Florida to move forward to a better future.

Florida division of elections now confirms that 2 state monitors assigned to observe Broward elections have "seen no evidence of criminal activity at this time," as first reported by @MiamiHerald. So @FLGovScott claimed fraud in a county where state observers saw none.
