S. King just tweeted- Gillum just gained 4k vote and now is 9,776 votes short of triggering recount

UPDATE: @AndrewGillum just gained an additional 4,000 votes.

Here are the current numbers:

Desantis: 49.7
Gillum: 49.09

Vote Difference: 50,766

Recount is triggered at about 41,000

(Also - please note - unlike GA, FL does not have automatic runoffs)
