overhauled. real quick, senator nelson s campaign has filed yet another lawsuit just a short while ago over voter intent. so the over votes and under votes and the manual recount and the rules governing them, well, senator nelson s campaign wants some of those rules thrown out because they think they re unfair and unconstitutional. that s yet another point of contention. very interesting. and just for the record, you are our number one and our only mark for this particular segment. morgan radford, sorry to keep you waiting for so long. i was down there in georgia covering it the kemp/abrams race. it was down to the wire back on tuesday night. it is still down to the wire a week later. how does it look right now? i know a judge ruled in abrams favor. does the abrams camp believe that will force a recount, if not a run-off? reporter: it s a wait-and-see approach here on the ground, katy. we re standing here in front of the election hid quarters, where they have been recounting 19,00
candidate s name. that s what an under vote is. all of that s important because as we hit thursday and move on to the next round of recounting, it s all done by hand. that s where the nelson folks think they re going to pick up some morargins, especially in broward county, where they saw a sizable under vote. let s pan back to those under and over votes, ali. how much do you think there are at that county you re in right now? give us a guesstimate. reporter: well, the guesstimate, just based on what i ve been overhearing from the folks behind me, is there are a few hundred in each race. it s important to keep in mind there are three statewide recounts that are going on right now that were mandated to go to a machine recount. so they hit that half a percentage point threshold where automatically the machines had to recount those races. what s likely going to happen on thursday at 3:00 p.m. is once those ballot totals are back to the secretary of state s office, some of the races, th
but on the gubernatorial side, it appears the race is all but decided in favor of republican ron desantis. and in georgia, a federal judge has delayed the certification of the results of the governor s race, allowing more time for ballot issues to be addressed. democrat stacey abrams is hoping to force a run-off with republican brian kemp, but it s currently unclear whethre the votes she needs for that to happen will come from. what s the latest in florida? reporter: katy, i want to set the scene for you where we are right now and explain of why i m talking in a lower voice than usual. we re in leon county, where they actually finished their machine recount. the sound you hear around me is quiet because the whirring of those machines as they were zipping out those ballots has
certified the governor come thursday after that balloting is finished. in the senate race and in the ag commissioner race, they re likely going to hit that quarter of a percent, which will trigger a hand recount. that s when we get into this all over again where some of the bigger counties will have to keep working around the clock to make sure they re counted in time. so mark, let s talk about the consequences of the rhetoric we ve been hearing for the past few days. desantis is looking likelier to win, but at the same time, you have the president, you have one of his counterparts in the republican party in florida, rick scott, saying that there s fraud and there s cheating going on. they re saying that. you could call it a case study in how to undermine the integrity of an election. how do you go from saying this is not fair, this is not being done correctly, then declaring a republican winner? do voters in that state have faith in their electoral system? that s a great question.
