Nelson is currently down 15,515. I do not know if there will be enough provisional votes to make up that deficit. It appears the crook will hold on.

First, there are still provisional votes to be counted. Second, there is evidence of a serious undercount in Broward County, places that voted for governor and other down ballot races, but did not record a vote for senator. And the undervote is much more than in other counties.
Of course, there could be another butterfly ballot type situation.

(135 posts)I do not think even if there is a tabulation error that will be enough to overcome the current deficit. Nelson needs to get that deficit under 10K going into the recount for the tabulation error (if there is one) to swing in Nelson's favor. I do not know where those votes will come from to continue to shrink the deficit.

(135 posts)I still do not think there are enough votes out there but will see. Trying to stay optimistic, but I am also a realist.
