Gillum responds to Scott lawsuit: 'Counting votes isn't partisan -- it's democracy'

lorida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum on Thursday said that there are no partisan motives in the effort to recount votes following the midterm elections, saying the process is "democracy" as the state moves toward a recount in both the gubernatorial and Senate races.

Gillum tweeted a response to Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R), the Republican Senate candidate, filing a lawsuit against the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes.

"Mr. @FLGovScott — counting votes isn't partisan — it's democracy," the former gubernatorial candidate tweeted Thursday night. "Count every vote."

Scott's Senate race against incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D) is likely heading toward a recount following Tuesday's election, where Scott initially appeared victorious.
