As his lead dwindled in Florida’s Senate race, Republican Governor Rick Scott filed lawsuits late on Thursday against Democratic election supervisors in two counties, accusing them of violating election law and demanding access to records of their vote tallies. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Bill Nelson’s campaign also filed a motion in federal court asking that provisional and absentee ballots not be rejected because election officials deem that the signatures do not match voters’ signatures already on file. Trump accused Democratic election officials in the two Florida counties of corruption, without providing any evidence.
