Now that key Senate and gubernatorial races have tightened in Florida and Georgia, President Trump is pointing to fraud as the only possible explanation.

Trump on Friday accused attorney Marc Elias, who is representing Sen. Bill Nelson's (D-Fla.) campaign, of being an "Election stealing lawyer," claiming that Broward County "miraculously started finding Democrat votes" with Elias' help. The Senate race between Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott has tightened so that Scott now leads by just 0.18 percent, enough to result in a hand recount, reports the Orlando Sentinel. Scott on Friday filed a lawsuit against two counties, alleging that "left-wing activists" have been "coming up with more and more ballots out of nowhere."
