In a statement, the Scott campaign said Nelson has a choice: 'Be remembered as the statesman who graciously conceded after 42-years of public service...or be remembered as the sore loser who refused to face the people he served.'

Too late, Nelson will be remembered as a sore loser.

This is how we do this in the information age? Many people sitting at long tables? Sad

Nothing worst then a medicare thief. He should be in jail, but he is with the right group of perverts and crooks in the senate.

Another democrat that doesn't want to admit defeat. He'll probably file another law suit..

Not his call as to when someone concedes. Just another classless loser lording it. Florida continues to be a messed up neverland.

I will not be taking moral advice from Rick Scott of all people.

Scott sounds like a bully!

Scott is in no position to judge anyone.

Scott: Or you could be dignified and just keep quiet. The count will be what the count will be.

Not today Satan FLGovScott

Scott is a disgrace. Let democracy have a chance, Skeletor.

Scott will be remembered for contributing to the drowning of FL by denying Climate Change

Bet Nelson will ask for a refund from Snipes.

How anyone voted for that tuuuurd Scott I’ll never know.

That’s rich coming from Scott, the leader of a company that stole over a billion dollars from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and the taxpayers of the US. Stay classy.

Scott is a weasel.

Sorry, ScottforFlorida but law calls for a recount and an American Patriot would let that play out but you would rather denigrate the legal process. You will be seen as the sore winner at this point. You have shamed your state and tainted your future credibility in the Senate.

He'll be remembered for looking like the result of a botched embalming.

Wait. It's written by an official campaign of a US Senator? Infantilization of our politics continues.

BoycottIsrael Representative-elect Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minneapolis, supports BDS EndIsraeliOccupation JerusalemIstheCapitalofPalestine 🇵🇸

I don’t like Scott, but you also can’t tell me that a career politician politician is a good thing either. It was not meant to be that way.

That's still a lot more complimentary than the way Rick Scott will be remembered.

Rick Scott, the Medicare fraud, calling on someone else to do the right thing. Every Republican is a hypocrite.

Scott?

Nelson should 100% concede but let’s not go around calling people sore losers. The race is over and Scott won. Start the transition.

If a recount has been called for, then let the process conclude. What is the big hurry to have someone concede? Every vote counts and count every vote.

The Latest: Scott leads Nelson as Florida finishes recountTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on Florida's election recount (all times local): 1:10 p.m. Florida's recount is over and Republican Gov. Rick Scott leads incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in the state's contentious Senate race by more than 10,000 votes. Official results posted by the state on Sunday showed Scott ahead of Nelson following legally required hand and machine recounts. State officials will certify the final totals Tuesday. The results show that Scott is poised to end Nelson's lengthy political career. The three-term incumbent was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000. Nelson has scheduled an announcement later Sunday afternoon. Scott spent more than $60 million of his own money on ads that portrayed Nelson as out-of-touch and ineffective. Nelson responded by questioning Scott's ethics and saying he would be under the sway of President Donald Trump. Florida gonna Florida. Dang, they couldn’t find enough votes for Nelson. I hate when that happens. Mississippi battle continues.

Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott. So....who won? Scott continues to lead Nelson, albeit by a slightly smaller 10,000 vote margin. With the recount over and his legal options exhausted, this means that Nelson has no path towards continuing the process and has lost the election. Hilarious
