Wasserman-Schultz Wants Nelson To Continue To Fight

MSNBC host Chuck Todd asked Wasserman Schultz at what point the deficit is too big to overcome.

"At what point do you say 12,000—that's a big number—at what point is it appropriate to say, you know what, I can't win, the numbers aren't there. I don't know the recount—I can't think of a recount that found that many votes. And they've gone through the machines. They haven't found a machine error. So at this point, how would you be handling this?" asked Todd.

"At the point that every vote lawfully cast is counted," Wasserman Schultz replied. "And look, we have some pretty significant PTSD from 18 years ago in 2000 when we had a president who was actually selected by the U.S. Supreme Court, than by the voters of Florida. Had we had a real recount, a full and thorough recount, we probably would have had a different outcome.

"If you're less than a quarter percent, which the Ag Commissioner race and the U.S. Senate race are, then you go through a manual recount. You don't go through all the ballots. You go through the ballots that had a problem or an issue. And that's what each county will be doing," Wasserman Schultz added.
