The Florida senate race is becoming one of the more interesting stories from the midterms. As more votes are counted, Scott has seen his lead diminish to .2 percent. Scott has now filed suit in response.
"The National Republicans Senatorial Committee joined Scott on Thursday to file suit against both Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. Scott alleges that the supervisors have violated federal and state laws by failing to provide information to officials."
Snipes herself has had issues in previous elections.
"A judge ruled in May of this year that Snipes had illegally destroyed votes during a 2016 election and Scott said at the time he would send experts to Broward for the upcoming elections, according to the Sun Sentinel."

The final vote count is expected by end of day Saturday, but the lawsuit could complicate things if the count doesn't break Scott's way.
