Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera mocked the vote count in Florida, as the Senate and governor's races look like they could be headed to a recount.

"We’re having flashbacks to 2001. When you think about 2000, Bush versus Gore, they were 537 votes apart. This we are talking tens of thousands," Rivera told "Fox & Friends" on Friday morning.



“Tens of thousands, but every time I read a new account of the tally, it changes," he continued. "They find a box here, a box there. Who needs Russian collusion when you have an old school Democratic Party machinery there? I lament the way politics pollutes something that should be a citizen, you know, aspect of life.”



“Come on," co-host Steve Doocy injected.



"Remember the hanging chads [in 2000] though, Steve? It just seemed to me the will of the people was not represented. Rather it became the will of the party official who was holding the chad up to the light."



"I’m very worried. Florida law since then has improved," Rivera continued. "Now you have this automatic machine recount if it’s within half a percent and manual recount if it’s within a quarter of a percent. I think the big news is just how divided the American electorate is in these swing states.”

The exchange comes after Republican Senate candidate Rick Scott announced he is suing Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes, alleging that critical voter information is being withheld as his race against incumbent Sen.

During a Thursday night news conference, Scott slammed Snipes in accusing her of having a “history of acting in bad faith” and questioned exactly where new vote tallies in Broward and Palm Beach counties were coming from.



“The people of Florida deserve fairness and they deserve transparency and the supervisor of elections is refusing to give it to us,” Scott declared.



“I will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal this election,” he added.
