Rick Scott declares victory in Fla.; calls Dem Bill Nelson a ‘sore loser’

(National Sentinel) Winner: Gov. Rick Scott isn’t waiting around for Democrat lawyers to steal his election victory from incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, so on Sunday he declared victory in the race that he won on election night Tuesday.

And for good measure, he called Nelson a “sore loser” for contesting his loss.

â€œBill Nelsonâ€™s a sore loser. Weâ€™ve won,â€ Scott said on â€œFox News Sunday.â€ â€œIâ€™ve had to win this election twice now. I will be going to Washington as the next U.S. senator from Florida, and Iâ€™m going to work hard to change the direction of this country like we did in Florida.â€

On Saturday, however, the Florida secretary of state announced three recounts. “Machine” recount results were supposed to have been reported by 3 p.m. on Thursday.
