Recount in that senate race. The second person whose voice you heard there was bill nelsons lawyer mark elias. If that name sounds familiar to you, he was also involved in the payment to fusion gps from the Clinton Campaign for the russia dossier. That was in the middle of the Senate Florida race as well. A bit of a tangled web out ther there. Anyway, here is the current count in the senate race. 15,000 votes separate phil scott and rick nelson. A machine recount kicks in when the spread is less than half a percent. And the second set of official returns show it tighter than a quarter of a percent, then they go to the old hand recount.

Country really. We know what his Closing Argument is.
