Judge extends FLA recount another week

A judge has granted Palm Beach County election officials until November 20th to submit the results of its machine recount.

Four races, including the state’s Senate and Gubernatorial races, are close enough to trigger recounts. State law requires all election results to be certified by Nov. 20.

Florida’s recount has triggered a flurry of lawsuits from Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, and invited criticism from President Trump, who has called for the recount to end.
