night. i was there for that press conference. there were jaws dropping when he accused the election officials of rampant fraud. he said he was going to request that the florida department of law enforcement look into the situation in both of those counties to see if anything went wrong. we can now report that the florida department of law enforcement has in fact looked into this situation and at this point they found no allegation of criminal activity. to take this even a step further, brook, the fdle, actually reached out to the department of state here in florida to determine whether there were any allegations of criminal activity. that secretary of state is someone who is a rick scott appointee. neither the department of state or the department of law enforcement has found any allegation of criminal activity. so this is a serious accusation that governor scott has made about the vote counting process, and at this point there is absolutely no evidence to back
will go up against incumbent democrat and we ll hear from him later on the show and josh holly , who goes on to challenge democratic senator in missouri and two races still too close to call, well let s take a look at those, troy balderson, leading democrat danny o connor in a much-watched special election in ohio just over 1,500 votes only .8 percentage points but more than 3,400 provisional ballots have yet to be counted there and ohio law calls for an automatic recount if the two candidates are separated by less than half a percentage point. let s switch over the drama does continue in kansas as incumbent governor hires an outside lawyer for the vote counting process with trump-backed secretary of state leading the race by less than a tenth of a percentage point, kovak formerly recused himself friday from his duties as secretary of state until the end of the primary process.
old-fashioned stand-off in kansas. the governor and the secretary of state are fighting over the ballot counting in a razor-thin republican gubernatorial primary where, oh, yeah, the two of them are also the candidates. about 180 votes separate the secretary of state, kris kobach, and the incumbent governor, jeff colyer, right now and that can change literally at any moment. mail-in ballots postmarked before tuesday and provisional ballots still need to be reviewed by august 20th. the unofficial count has just under 9,000 provisional ballots that they have to get through. as we told you earlier this week, vote counting and any recount ends up being overseen by the secretary of state, kris kobach. now, governor colyer sent a letter yesterday calling on him to recuse himself from the vote counting process and accusing kobach already of giving election officials incorrect information about the count. kobach, who became nationally known by crusading against voter fraud, we ll put that in q
they could jump in here. it is a republican controlled legislature, so if they were to jump in, it is likely they would go for governor pat mccrory, even if the vote tallies show roy cooper in the lead as we get towards the end of the vote counting process. murky, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. the fact is the democrats have a lead. i understand republicans are saying that some votes came from dead voters. i mean, we ve we heard this before. convicts who they say are ineligible to vote. how are they building the case, if they will are, to say that this result is somehow fishy? we are getting these allegations and comments filed about voter fraud throughout the state in a variety of county, there are typically complaints filed, with help from the mccrory campaign by local public officials. they re saying challenging individual voteders, naming people they say are convicted felon, ineligible to vote. you can be a convicted felon and vote. but you can t serve an active
he appeared on tv moments after results came out saying he would attempt a legal challenge. but the u.s. state department and the united nations said they were satisfied with the vote counting process. it is the u.n. s considered opinion that these elections have been credible and we congratulate the people of iraq with their success. iraq s election commission is also standing by the results. any doubt about our hard work will not serve the country and the public interest and will complicate the situation. a alawi is a shiite. he had support from shiewns who boycotted the last election in 2005. partial vote counts have shown him ahead in the balloting, but it still came as a surprise that he managed to upset maliki and win the right to take a first try at forming a new government. maliki leads a moderate shiite block that had tried to distance itself from seq. terrorism. he still has a shot at keeping his job if he can build a large
