(Credit: CBS News) BREAKING: @BrowardVotes says it WILL meet the deadline to submit unofficial results to the Florida Department of State. Right now they say they have counted 99.997% of the votes. 25 ballots remain. — Oliver Redsten (@OliverRedsten) November 10, 2018 SCOTT LEAD UNDER 15,000 VOTES AS RECOUNT NEARS With a noon deadline Saturday for counties to report unofficial results from Tuesday’s elections, Republican Gov. Rick Scott led Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson by fewer than 15,000 votes, according to numbers posted on the state Division of Elections website. Scott, who is seeking to unseat Nelson, had 4,095,771 votes, while the incumbent senator had 4,080,923 as of 10 a.m. Saturday. With a total of 8,176,694 votes tallied, Scott had 50.09 percent, and Nelson had 49.91 percent. The narrow margin is almost certain to trigger an automatic machine recount after the reporting deadline. Such a recount is required when the difference between candidates is 0.5 percent or less.
