Court Rules in Scott’s Favor in Recount Case
This morning a judge has ruled in favor of Governor Rick Scott. Yesterday the governor filed a lawsuit against the Hillsborough county supervisor of elections. The suit accused Craig Latimer and the canvassing board of not allowing observers into the recount room.
The judge ruled this violates Florida law. Now representatives from both parties will be allowed in the room with the ballot machine. The recount is taking place for three statewide races.
