Republicans had made allegations that Democrats were engaging in election fraud, but did not offer evidence to back the claims.
The Florida governor’s race continues to narrow and heads toward a recount, Democrat Andrew Gillum is firing back against unsubstantiated claims that there is election fraud meant to steal the race for Democrats.
At the end of election night, it appeared as if Republican Ron DeSantis was headed to victory and Gillum conceded the race. But as votes continued to trickle in the margin grew slimmer, and is now within the mandated range for a recount to take place and Gillum has vowed to press on until all the votes are counted. That has led to allegations from some top Republicans to lash out and Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican whose own Senate race is also headed to a recount, filed a lawsuit against Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes.
As The Hill noted, Andrew Gillum is firing back, saying that there is nothing partisan about counting all the votes.
“Mr. @FLGovScott — counting votes isn’t partisan — it’s democracy,” Gillum tweeted. “Count every vote.”
The latest update shows that the Florida governor’s race likely won’t be decided anytime soon, as the recount process could take weeks depending on any legal actions taken either by Ron DeSantis or Andrew Gillum.
