Donald Trump and the Republican governor of Florida both claimed elections in the state were in danger of being “stolen”, after recounts were ordered in the Senate and gubernatorial races. Scott urged every sheriff in the state to watch for any violations during the recount process as outlined in Florida law, and to take appropriate actions. Trump tweeted: “Trying to STEAL two big elections in Florida! Florida was mocked for the way it handled that recount, especially since there was no uniform process then on how to proceed. Hand recounts will be reflected in official election results due on 18 November.
