Florida's election machine recount begins in Governor, Senate, and Agriculture Commissioner races

Several counties across Central Florida have begun the recount process after the Secretary of State ordered a statewide machine recount due to some races being too close to call.

Following the announcement, Andrew Gillum tweeted: "I am replacing my earlier concession with an unapologetic and uncompromised call to count every vote." In the Governor Race, Gillum is trailing Ron Desantis by .41 percent.

In the Senate Race, Rick Scott leads over Bill Nelson by just .15 percent. Rick Scott's campaign says the Senate recount is not needed, but Bill Nelson's attorney believes machine issues may have led to tens of thousands of ballots showing no vote in the senate Race.

In the race for Agriculture Commissioner, Nikki Fried has a .53 hundred vote lead over Matt Caldwell. Both Caldwell and Fried say they will have people in all 67 counties, overseeing the recount process.

The recount process in Seminole County has started on Sunday. The Orange County recount starts on Monday, while updated numbers from Brevard County are expected on Tuesday.

The second unofficial returns are due no later than 3p.m. on Thursday, November 15th.
