Recount time
Republicans allege fraud with no evidence – I will include some of their tweets so you can see what they are saying.
JUST IN: Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott is filing three lawsuits against county election officials as a recount has gotten underway in the Senate contest between himself and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson https://t.co/ViCXrAXyxO pic.twitter.com/BQRIDLbSSU

Also, per the Sun-Sentinel, whatever the issue ends up being, in studies test voters “often overlooked races immediately beneath vertical instructions” — where Broward placed the Senate race. This violates best practices outlined by the US Election Assistance Commission: pic.twitter.com/OyQeHq0xkA

Crazy that Trump is talking more about Broward County now than when 17 people were shot and killed here.

From NRO: 'Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of elections in Florida’s Broward County, does not deserve to be within a thousand miles of any election office anywhere in these United States. She should be fired at the earliest possible opportunity.' https://t.co/2Xn9lWED5M

I’m proud to announce we have a team of 7500 volunteer recount representatives available in FL. Reps will be deployed all over FL to make sure any potential issues are reported so they can be quickly reviewed and resolved. We won't allow unethical liberals to steal this election!

FL voters approved restoring voting rights to felons. Desmond Meade, an advocate for Amendment 4, said “you could lose your rights for life over something as simple as driving with a suspended license” in Florida. He’s correct. https://t.co/v1eWNeW0DB pic.twitter.com/WSogkoqri0

Florida GOP's history of voter suppression:
Illegally purged 12,000 voters in 2000
7 hour lines in 2012
Shut down voter registration drives
Disenfranchised 1.6 million ex-felons
15k absentee ballots rejected in 2018
We know which party trying to steal election

This is a lie and you know it.
The Florida Department of State has said that there is no evidence of criminal activity and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said that there’s been no allegations of fraud.
Baseless comments like this inflict real damage on our democracy. https://t.co/bqvnBNrvVt

Scott alleged criminal violations and directed Florida law enforcement to investigate
They investigated and found absolutely no evidence anyone was breaking the law
The only fraud that is occurring is the baseless claims by GOP officials https://t.co/D0UDdvWFXQ

I spoke to one of the voters Rubio claims broke the law. She is 29 and works 2 jobs. She followed instructions at her polling station & provided a valid photo ID. She has no idea why her ballot was rejected. Likely her signature was deemed a mismatch https://t.co/gJg2D2MQWe https://t.co/985vNeGdPm

Anyone get @marcorubio on the record yet about whether he has a shred of evidence to back up his accusation that Democrats are trying to steal an election? https://t.co/TU9EBobpCp
