FL-SD14: No recount will be required in Florida Senate District 14 race
There will be no automatic machine recount in the Senate District 14 race between Democrat Brian Nathan and Republican Josie Tomkow, the Florida Division of Elections said Friday.
That’s because Nathan’s margin of victory — 405 votes — did not meet the statutory threshold to trigger a machine recount.
Florida law says that a machine recount must be ordered if the first set of unofficial returns, which were certified Friday, indicates a candidate was defeated by 0.5% or fewer of the total votes cast for the office.
Nathan led Tomkow after all votes were counted Tuesday night by 408 votes. After the first unofficial count was completed on Friday morning, his lead was reduced to 405 votes.
