Welcome to Rabbit Hole, a breaking-news analysis that helps you get smart on the one story everyone’s obsessing over—for Beast Inside members only.

It’s been a week since Election Day, but in two states, the fight over the midterms is only just beginning. Florida is reclaiming its 2000 championship title as America’s disputed-recount king and Georgia isn’t far behind. Are we any closer to a final tally? And who’s suing for what in order to help them get past the finish line?

Deadlines: Under Florida law, elections go to a machine count if the margin of difference between the candidates is less than 0.5 percent. The first set of unofficial results, which were reported Saturday, showed Gov. Rick Scott with a narrow lead of just under 13,000 votes—or a 0.16 percent difference—over incumbent Bill Nelson in the race for a U.S. Senate seat. That’s well under the threshold for a machine recount.
