TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - Florida elections officials are racing to recount ballots this week after razor-thin voting margins left the state's marquee contests for the U.S. Senate and governor too close to call.
Republicans took the lead in last Tuesday's elections, but their margins narrowed and state-mandated recounts were ordered after the processing of more than 8 million ballots cast. President Donald Trump is calling for the recounts to end, saying without evidence that Democrats are out to steal his party's wins in America's largest political battleground state.
