9:05 Rick Scott is also suing Palm Beach County. Here's the lawsuit.
9:00 Rick Scott filed suit against Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes over the county's delay in completing its count of the votes from the midterm election. Scott sued as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, not in his capacity as governor of Florida.

Broward County lags the rest of the state in completing the first, crucial phases of counting ballots from Tuesday's midterm election.
