Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate says claims of electoral fraud without evidence by President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Rick Scott were sowing seeds that could undermine confidence in the democratic process.
Andrew Gillum spoke to voters Tuesday night at St. Mark AME Church in Orlando during a Faith in Florida event.
As the work of recounting votes continues across every county in Florida, Gillum spoke to voters about the situation.
“If the inauguration for governor ain’t until January, then what is the rush?” Gillum said Tuesday night.
Gillum said he would fight “with every fiber in my body” to make sure that every vote is counted as Florida’s 67 counties work to complete a machine recount and face the prospect of a manual recount.
