Trump: 'Infected' ballots make a fair count impossible in Florida

President Trump claimed Monday an honest vote tally in Florida's races for governor and the U.S. Senate is no longer possible because the ballots have been "infected" by voting irregularities.

"The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!" Trump wrote on Twitter Monday morning.

Republican Gov. Rick Scott, the candidate for Senate, filed several lawsuits against Broward and Palm Beach Counties Sunday that accuse officials of "willful disregard of the law." He said those counties failed to count their votes on time, and mixed in votes that should have been disqualified with legal ballots.

Both counties are in the process of recounting votes nearly a week after the election took place. Scott had a small lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson as of Sunday night of just under 13,000 votes out of more than 8 million cast.

The GOP governor is asking the judge not to allow the counting of any ballots that weren't counted by Saturday, the state's legal deadline for tallying up election results. He also wants voting equipment and paper ballots to be seized by police.

Democrats, Soros intervention in the election. Where is Mueller? He is investigating everything else outside the scope of original case. OH I forgot this is blatant Democrat and supporters fingerprints all over it which makes it hands off.
