A few top lines on this #FLSEN recount adventure, from a call with Marc Elias -- the lead lawyer on the Nelson effort. First and foremost, he thinks Senator Nelson is going to stay Senator Nelson by the end of this process.

(1/X)

The Nelson team is looking at Broward County (where votes are still being counted right now) and specifically an "under-vote" in the Senate race. Plain English: more people voted in the gov and AG race than in the Senate race, a pretty rare thing - Elias argues. #flsen

They're also looking at about ~10,000 votes still being counted in Palm Beach County, where Elias believes a “substantial number” of votes will end up a) counting and b) upping Nelson's vote share in the already blue area. #flsen

Finally, Team Nelson is focused on Miami-Dade & making sure provisional ballots count. On a call w/ reporters just now, Elias pointed to a national “history of rejection” of signatures on provisional ballots that impact Hispanic and black voters disproportionately. #FLSEN

Elias says they are on a “mission to make sure everyone who cast a ballot and was eligible should have it counted and counted accurately.” #FLSEN

So what's the timing on all of this recount business?

1. County canvasses began yesterday & are ongoing. They will be finished by noon, 11/10.
2. If margin is <.5%, machine recount, done by 3p, 11/15.
3. If that margin is <.25%, by-hand recount, done by 11/18. #FLSen
