Florida Governor Rick Scott, a Senatorial candidate in last week’s 2018 midterm elections, filed lawsuits over the weekend regarding the ballot-accounting debacle that has surrounded the election.

Scott sued Susan M. Bucher, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, alleging that she “continues to store election equipment and ballots in an unsecured facility outside the view of the public.” He requests more transparency with ballot-counting procedures, based on the Palm Beach County Election Code.

Scott filed a second suit in which he alleges that absentee ballots cast for him were lost or damaged by the Palm Beach County Board of Elections. “Plaintiff’s [Scott’s] representatives have not even been allowed to confirm Defendant’s [Bucher’s] compliance with the statue’s procedure for processing physically-damaged absentee ballots,” says this suit.

These are not the only cases filed in this matter: in neighboring Broward County Scott sued Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes in three different cases for allegedly failing to count absentee ballots completely, failing to properly supervise voting machines, and failing to secure ballots.

Scott won the election, but recounts are closing the gap between him and the Democratic runner-up. Critics claim that he is suing the elections boards to prevent all the votes from being counted so he can secure victory in the race.

There has also been controversy surrounding Florida Amendment Four, which restores voting rights to felons, adding thousands of previously-unrepresented voters to the system.

Bucher has since filed an emergency motion asking that the suit be reconsidered and an emergency stay be applied.
