Florida: Nelson, Scott race headed to recount

Sen. Bill Nelson’s campaign announced Wednesday morning that his race against Gov. Rick Scott is headed to a recount. Of the 8.1 million votes cast, Scott leads by just 34,537 votes, which is less than one-half point, the threshold for a state-mandated recount.

“We are proceeding to a recount,” Nelson said Wednesday in a statement.
