Gardner defends Rick Scott's claim that Democrats are trying to "steal" Florida election
Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, defended Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott's charge that "unethical liberals" are trying to "steal" the state's Senate election, in which Scott a candidate.
Gardner argued on Sunday's "Meet the Press" that a state court found that Broward County had violated the state's constitution in delaying identifying how many ballots were left to be counted. And he argued that "I'm going to leave it to the courts to decide how we best protect the integrity of this election."
Florida is now in a recount for the races for senator, governor and commissioner of agriculture after the tight margins triggered an automatic recount.
Democrats have blasted Republicans like Scott and President Trump for suggesting foul play, arguing that the main goal is to be sure every ballot is accurately counted.
And the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has told media that there have been no specific allegations of voter fraud and that it's not currently investigating any foul play in the vote count.
