Rick Scott and cabinet will meet Nov. 20 by telephone, just hours after Scott and two Cabinet members will certify the results of the Nov. 6 elections, to approve the FPL power plant. FPL’s parent company has donated more then $1 million to Scott’s campaigns, and Scott owns as much as $500,000 in company stock.
Scott, despite his self-assurance, has not technically won the U.S. Senate seat yet. He may be the first candidate to ever attend an orientation as a senator-elect before actually being the senator-elect.
Scott repeated his allegations Sunday, without evidence, that fraud is behind the increase in votes for Nelson, saying he has asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to look into potential fraud. The department and the secretary of state have both previously said there is no evidence of fraud.
Scott’s Senate campaign is suing the Broward County elections supervisor and is ordering the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate elections offices in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
