Chris Wallace on Fla. Recount: Rick Scott Is ‘Trying to Intervene to the Degree that He’s Able to Before He Suddenly Is Behind in this Race’

‘As long as you have a lead, you have an advantage’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Yeah, obviously this is before a court now. So the judge is going to decide what to do. Of course, to a certain degree, a lot of this may be settled tomorrow because all counties by law are forced to report to the state election board what their tally is by this Saturday after the Tuesday of the election. But you know, we saw this in Florida back in 2000. As long as you have a lead, you have an advantage. If the other side gets the lead, then it becomes harder to reverse that. So I suspect part of what you’re seeing here is that Rick Scott is saying, you know, this 50,000 vote lead is now already eroded to 15,000. Who knows what happens over the next 24 hours. He’s trying to intervene to the degree that he’s able to before he suddenly is behind in this race."
