President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson to concede in the highly-watched Florida Senate race, which is undergoing a contentious recount battle, and again accused, without evidence, two Florida counties of manufacturing votes.

"When will Bill Nelson concede in Florida? The characters running Broward and Palm Beach voting will not be able to 'find' enough votes, too much spotlight on them now!" the president tweeted.


The president, without evidence, has repeatedly accused Democrats of "election theft" in that Senate race and has said that the election should be called in Republican Gov. Rick Scott's favor.

The Senate race, along with the governor's race, are currently undergoing a recount.

Scott successfully sued Broward Country supervisor Brenda Snipes for failing to provide public records concerning how many ballots she had left to count. In addition, supervisor Susan Bucher in Palm Beach County was also successfully sued by Scott for duplicating about 650 damaged ballots outside of the public view.
