Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said Saturday that his re-election campaign will be a success after Florida election officials announced a recount in his tight battle against Republican Gov. Rick Scott.

Nelson never conceded the close race Tuesday night when Scott came out with a slim lead. Nelson said in a statement Saturday that Scott’s shrinking election night advantage is indicative of a comeback.

“Since Tuesday, the gap has shrunk from roughly 60,000 votes to about 12,500 – the margin has reduced by 78 percent and is now roughly .15 percent,” he said in a statement. “We believe when every legal ballot is counted we’ll win this election."

The Florida secretary of state said on Saturday there would also be recounts in the race for governor between Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum and former congressman Ron Desantis and in the race for agriculture commissioner between Democrat Nikki Fried and Republican Matt Caldwell.

Scott has claimed there was election fraud in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, a charge that President Trump has also magnified in several tweets.

However, the Florida Department of Elections found on Saturday that there was no evidence of criminal activity in the way that Broward handled its midterm election.
