senator nelson briefed me with how things are going with the florida vote count. i want to make three simple points. first, it is a bedrock principle of our democracy that every vote is counted and the senate election in florida must abide by that rule. every single florida voter, whether they mailed in their ballot, whether they showed up at the polls on election day to vote, no matter for whom they legally cast their vote, must have their vote counted. the hallmark of our democracy is simple. every vote must count. that's what democrats believe. and that's what we are trying to get done. president trump and governor scott seem dead set against counting every vote. why? because they are worried that if every vote is counted, bill nelson will be re-elected as senator from the great state of florida. trump and scott are attempting to bully the election officials in florida out of doing their jobs. in an attempt to win this election. it's just plain wrong. it's un-american. attempts to bully, threaten and cajole officials into not counting every vote is a large and d

the florida of states. both the senate and governor's races are too close to call and the republicans there aren't handling the stress well. >> republicans from the president on doin' are united in their attempt to stop counting votes. in florida's senate and gubernatorial election before the final tally. >> i will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try steal this election. >> donald trump echoing the base cleses claims of florida governor and senator rick scott who accused of the voting reg stare in broward county a fraud. >> trevor: if trump is saying this about an election he is not a part of, imagine if he loses in 2020. he will be holed up in the oval office like star face, sitting behind the desk with oozies. kellyanne conway will be manning the machine guns. don, jr. with an unpinned grenade. i took this out, i'm so strong! ( laughter ) nobody is stealing the election but that doesn't mean nah doesn't have big issues wits voting. all over florida the elections have been a cluster (~bleep ) and everyone is cont

florida. the short answer is yes that's so all signs indicate that we will have a recount primarily for these senate races in florida as well as the governor's race as well a recount in florida where if we heard that before you might remember two thousand the presidential election of course we all remember that the big recount in the state of florida in the presidential election between george w. bush an owl gore ultimately bush won the state of florida by less than six hundred votes and that was all that it took to push him over the top in the electoral college to win the presidency of course that recount went all the way up to the supreme court up to see how this one goes but getting to what we know here i mean this was such a tight race here in florida this year once again eight million votes cast just in the state of florida listen to this in this senate race rick scott as the latest numbers holds a fourteen thousand eight hundred vote lead over challenger bill nelson scott fifty point zero percent of the vote nelson forty nine point nine percent so you can see how tight that is now that also wi

florida right now. it's a key race. 96% of the vote is in. let's look at the senate contest. >> 96% of the vote in in a state has big of florida, not that big of a lead. 96% in. the question is if you're bill nelson in what's left, can you come back? you go through it. let's look. 87% miami dade county. you're starting to get nervous. can you make it up? yes. more than 450,000 votes. the republican almost 300,000. there are votes to be had. they're doing math and look agent the voter list. up to 70% in broward county. last time you were here. this was at 51. more votes coming. in the democrat is holding his lead. with 30% left, again, that's 2 00,000 plus votes with 70% in. is there in that 30% left enough. do the quick math, possible. it is possible. you start looking at the math. 100% for palm beach county. that came in earlier. i want to double check it to see. the democrats are seeing where else are there urban areas, suburbs to pick up votes. you're at 96% here. some, but you can't count on a lot in orange county. these are competitive areas. bill nelson winning

the recount in the races for florida's senate and governor got under way over the weekend. it's supposed to be finished by thursday. governor rick scott has filed three lawsuits. meanwhile, georgia's governor race remains up in the air as does a race for a senate seat in arizona. tony dokoupil reports. >> reporter: officials in arizona are counting mail-in ballots in its u.s. senate race. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: where democrat kyrsten sinema opened up a lead over mcsally. democrat stacey abrams in georgia is refusing to concede against republican brian kemp. >> we did not need to sit down and take the trump agenda. >> reporter: democrat harley rouda, a real estate executive declared victory against dana, or ra backer in their house race. we have not yet projected that race. >> we have boxes of votes just appearing out of nowhere. >> reporter: the trump administration is alleging fraud in florida. state election officials are reassuring voters while ordering machine recounts of the governor's race and the u.s. senate race. senate republicans like the reelected ted

. >> the marquis race for the florida senate is even tighter. governor rick scott leads democratic incumbent bill nelson by less than 13,000 votes. that is a margin of just .15 of a percentage point. if on thursday, the senate race is under a quarter of a percentage point, counties will have another three days to conduct a hand recount. >>> president trump is in paris. but on twitter, he reiterated his unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud. the president wrote, quote, trying to steal two big elections in florida. we're watching closely. florida's department of state found no evidence of criminal activity. >>> joining me now, laura barron lopez a reporter with the washington -- great to have you both here this morning. i want to begin with president trump's florida vote recount. here he is addressing media thursday. >> all of a sudden they're finding votes out of nowhere. you tell me. it's always the democrats. it's always gps fusion. it's always crooked stuff. >> laura, how can trump impact public trust of the florida vote recount? >> well,

chuck schumer and senator nelson to hold a news conference on the recount that is going on in the florida senate race. senator nelson is oice is the incumbent and take you live to the democrats' briefing as soon as it begins. we'll look at today's "jarks journal." sargent : takingook, n uncivil war back our democracy in the age of trump he and disinformation and thunder dome politics." what are thunder dome politics? two things, first the zero sum death struggle that results in politics when all rules and norms and standards of fair play go out the window. you and your viewers have probably seen the movie in the thunder dome. two men enter and one leaves. it is a reference to that aspect of our politics in an euro of norm shredding and so forth. crudecond is the tenor, bloodsport entertainment tone that trump has dragged us all down to her thunder dome politics puts those two things together in an effort to encapsulate pre-much how everything feels now. host: how much is donald trump to blame for thunder dome pommel -- politics? guest: i think it is pretty clear that he is a major culprit. in ma

in the florida senate, scott .2% margin of victory and still count. e worst poll quinnipiac had nelson up 7. the florida governorship, desantis winning with .7% of the vote. worst again. quinnipiac had gillum up 7%. and trafalgar group had deand is 3 points ahead. -- defend and i -- nbc news mat had tim up 6 points. and emerson had sinema up 1. taking a look at wisconsin governors. evers beating walker by a little over 1%. nbc news farrist had evers plus 10. there you have it the polling team and trafalgar group had a great year. but the folks at nbc news and question i yak, check your samples guys. so leading up to 2020 when the media starts posting polls. take a step back and remember these words. >> watters world. joining me, the author of why we fight, sebastian gorka and gina loudon. what do you think of watters words? >> those who ran closest to the president on the republican side of things tended the to win. and also the other thing we are seeing is we have a total new psychology where i believe that a lot of democrats believe it's okay to stea

the florida senate race, rick scott at 4,091,645 votes. and there you see bill nelson. fference .22%. that would fall into the manual recount territory. florida governor race, very see the separation between ron desantis and andrew gillum. this is under the half a percent difference, and that goes into a machine recount automatic, even after andrew gillum conceded on election night. the gillum campaign put out a statement on tuesday night that the campaign operated with the best information available but they never outstanding balance left account since that time has been, it's come clear there's many more uncounted ballots than originally reported. the campaign along with the attorney, barry richard, you remember from him from the recount in tallahassee in 2000, monitoring the situation and ready for any outcome including a state-mandated recount. mayor gillum started his campaign for the people and we are committed to ensuring every single vote in florida is counted. since the show has started, i've been texted by political operatives on the left and right who have bee

just now, senator nelson was here to brief me on how things are going with the florida vote count. and following that meeting, i want to make three simple points. first, it is a bedrock support f support for democracy that every vote is counted and the senate election in florida must abide by that rule. every single florida voter, whether they mail in their ballots, whether they showed up at the polls on election day to vote, no matter for whom the legally cast their vote must have their vote counted. the hallmark of our democracy is simple. every vote must count. that is what we are trying to get done. president trump and governor scott are dead set against counting every vote. they worry if every vote is counted, bill nelson will be reelected as the senator from sm the great state of florida. they are attempting to bully the officials in florida out of doing their jobs in an attempt to win this election is just plain wrong. it is un-american. .. . >> he said that bill nelson should concede before everyone's vote is counted? what is he afraid of? with he really wants an honest and

in the florida senate race we are going it looks like to a second recount.ount that almost all the counties finished today, but rick scott, after that recount -- after that machine recount, he appears to lead democratic incumbent bill nelson by less than 13,000 votes and that is definitely close enough for there to be yet another statewide recount. this time not a machine recount. this time it will be ballots being counted by hand. so elections officials will be looking for ballots that the machines might have had trouble reading because a voter skipped a race or candidate in the race. lawyers for bill nelson's campaign tell us they are filing a new motion in state court asking that all the votes in at least one county, palm beach county, should be recounted by hand. all the votes, not just anything spit out or marked as trouble. that would be over 580,000 ballots in that one county. that hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. i don't think how long it take to count 530,000 ballots by hand. if you've been holding your breath for the florida senate race

the controversial recount of votes from last week's florida senate and state governor elections has begun officials have until thursday to report the new results of republicans who lead after the first counts have accused democrats of attempting to steal the elections. and politicians in sri lanka have staged a candlelit vigil to protest the president's decision to dissolve parliament they say democracy is under threat after the president sacked the legislature and ordered fresh elections last week and his main political parties are challenging the move in the supreme court. western leaders have condemned elections held in separatist controlled areas of ukraine washington branded them a mockery while france and germany said they were unlawful and illegitimate elections were to choose heads of government and lawmakers in the self-proclaimed donetsk and lugansk peoples republics neither of which are recognized internationally. this is the passports of a state which no one recognizes the lou hands people's republic in eastern ukraine it's a document macao to kuching codes using to vote i cou

after that, we hear from newly elected members of congress and remarks from chuck schumer and florida senator bill nelson on the recount in that race. 2018, reviewing the midterm elections and a look ahead to 2020 for democrats. >> c-span's "washington journal" live every day with policy issues that impact you. coming up wednesday morning, house republican and democratic leadership elections and florida on florida'sity governor and senate race recounts. join the discussion. >> tuesday in the house, the chamber welcomed three new .embers here's a look at their swearing-in on the house floor. >> for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from new york he permitted to take the oath of office today. his certificate of election has not arrived, but there is no contest and no question has been raised with regard to his election. >> without objection. for what purpose this the gentleman from oklahoma seek recognition. >> i ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from oklahoma be permitted to take the oath of office today. his ce

set to make a statement after calling republican governor rick scott to concede victory in the florida senateace. eric: correspondent phil keaton where nelson's concession is expected at any moment, marks end of 46 years in public office and marks the first time, republican senators at the same time, phil. >> hi, eric, yes, it is all over after 12 hard-fought days over recounting and lawsuits and florida election 2018 is finally done, all that's left for the final numbers to be certified in tallahassee tuesday morning. i can tell you that the rick scott campaign, governor scott who hard-fought nelson for the race, u.s. senate seat, senator bill nelson who graciously conceded and i thanked him for public service and the election is behind us. eric: nelson 76 year's old. look, he's been in office 46 years, first elected 1972, what do you think the tipping point was in the race, so close 10,000 votes out of more than 8 million cast, scott campaign really tried to portray nelson as out of touch and out of sink and in office too long. >> the scott campaign an scott himself also repeatedly used the

republicans have seen their leads in florida's u.s. senate and governor's races dwindle as new ballots have been counted since election day, which is why governor rick scott whose lead in the tight senate race has narrowed significantly, why he followed a lawsuit demanding voting records in his own race. his opponent bill nelson fighting back insisting that when every ballot is counted he'll win. and then there is arizona's senate race. this is where democrat kyrsten sinema's lead over republican martha mcsally has expanded to over 20,000 votes. i have said this before. president trump must be really, really rattled tonight. the blue wave in the midterms is actually bigger than it looked on election night. house democrats have picked up 30 seats, and out of ten house races, not yet called by cnn, the democratic candidates, their leads in five. democratic candidates lead in five, and if those numbers hold up, democrats will get a 35-seat pickup, and the bigger the blue wave, the more rattled the president, but he's got plenty more good reasons

florida senate, also too close to call. missouri senate, closely watched race tonight, too close to call at this hour. tennessee senate, too early to call, blackburn is the early leader in that race. massachusetts senate and the next six people are going back to work in the senate, let's just say that, elizabeth warren, no surprise, connecticut senate, chris murphy going back, no surprise. delaware, carper is going back, the democrat, no surprise there, ben cardin in the state of maryland, in the state of pennsylvania, senator bob casey, in the state of rhode island, senator sheldon white house, over to new jersey, too early to call, though, bob menendez is in the lead, something of a huge undertaking given the campaign mounted against him. angus king, the independent in maine who caucuses with the democrats, too early to call. he is in the lead, however. then in mississippi, this is, by the way, look at the current senate, again those undecided seats in gray. that's what to concentrate on until we get a little later in the

we've seen president trump talk about fraud happening in florida. senator he has alluded to some sort of fraud. are they correct? no, in my mind that's a bunch of politics. what's going on here is florida has this law that some other states have that says that the signature that's on file with your voter registration file has to match the signature on the envelope when you mail in your ballot. of course, there's a lot of human error involved in that. the person is looking at those two signatures and trying to determine whether they match. what's happened is democrats are doing with election officials over whether some of those signatures match or not, because if the signature doesn't match, the ballot is set aside and not counted. so there's an argument going on over whether signatures match or not, and that is what the current florida governor, the senate countedate, rick scott, is arguing is fraud, and that's what the president was alluding to. but it's really an argument over human decisions over matching signatures. we're now seeing this recount happeni

the florida attorney general pam bondi and florida senator marco rubio will be with us tonight. but first, jim acosta desperately trying to get back into the white house, 1600 pennsylvania avenue. last week, as white house pass was revoked after what was clearly unprofessional conduct, an incident where he just refused to give up a shared microphone. shared, keyword. literally he wanted to debate their race. >> that's enough. speak to it that's enough. >> pardon me. >> mr. president, i have one other question. >> president trump: that's enough, put down the microphone. >> mr. president, are you worried about indictments -- speak to i tell you what, cnn should be ashamed of themselves having you working for them. you are a rude, terrible person and you should be working for cnn. >> cnn by the way is it affecte affected. how many times does the president of the united states need to tell someone a fame seeking reporter, that's enough, that's enough. now cnn still has access to the white house. acosta is still free to spew his anti-trump hatred anywhere he wants, just not inside th

florida cabinet. senator rubio's warning, must not be taken lightly. it's getting worse by the hour. tonight we're facing a serious issue, a chain of custody issue with broward county because, oh, they found 83,000 votes after the initial election night canvass? here we are 72 hours later? those votes, at this point, can't be trusted. there is tight control now over voter access, security, and custody, because these votes cannot be traced to the actual voter. the time, the location, the law compels the state to dispose of these ballots. in other words, we've no documented way to know in any way if, in fact, these ballots are legitimate or where they are coming from. this means, you know, some kind of malfeasance. by the way, nothing new from broward county or palm beach county. the supervisor of elections there, her name is brenda snipes, we'll have a full report on her later. she has a long history of misconduct. in august, a judge ruled that snipes systematically mishandled mail-in absentee ballots and in 2
