The statist circus is over: Florida recount odyssey confirms that Rick Scott is going to be a U.S. Senator

Florida’s recount madness is over, and Rick Scott is going to be a U.S. Senator.
On Sunday, following a 12-day ordeal in which 8.3 million ballots were counted twice — some of them thrice — Florida’s Division of Elections confirmed that Scott beat U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson by 10,033 votes. Shortly after, Nelson called the term-limited governor to concede, ending any speculation that he might challenge the results.
With the extended campaign behind him, Scott, 65, will now head to Washington, where he will add to the Republican Party’s majority in the U.S. Senate. The win is the third in three tries for the former healthcare executive, who unexpectedly rode a Tea Party wave into the governor’s mansion in 2010 and used a tireless work ethic and his own personal wealth to hold onto power.
“My focus will not be on looking backward, but on doing exactly what I ran on: Making Washington Work,” Scott, who spent $64 million of his own money on his campaign, said in a statement.
