(Worthy News) – Florida Gov. Rick Scott, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, filed multiple lawsuits against Broward and Palm Beach Counties on Sunday, accusing local officials of “willful disregard of the law.”
Votes counted by Palm Beach County after the noon deadline on Saturday should not be included in the statewide recount, Scott argues in one of his complaints, according to CNN. Palm Beach County elections supervisor Susan Buchner and Broward County supervisor of elections Brenda Snipes have come under scrutiny for the recount effort.
In two different lawsuits, Scott’s campaign is requesting that voting tabulation equipment be impounded after the recount and that all ballots be preserved. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
