SENATOR NELSON CONCEDES

Florida U.S. Senator Bill Nelson has conceded the Senate race to Governor Rick Scott. The final results show Scott defeated Nelson by just over 10,000 votes out of 8 million cast. The three-term incumbent was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000 and before that served six terms in the U.S. House and as state treasurer and insurance commissioner for six years. Scott spent more than 60 million dollars of his own money in a campaign that was often quite heated and eventually came down to two recounts. State officials will certify the final totals tomorrow.
