Because of the systematic racism that plagues our country, we must try to live with tolerance, respect and love for our neighbor, especially neighbors that are different. Let’s start with police reform and inequality in healthcare, housing and jobs. Let’s try.

I have signed a letter with 70 former senators to try to get out of the gridlock that has paralyzed the Senate. https://t.co/RLFUSgSgpj

The Senate is failing to perform its constitutional duties, 70 former U.S. senators write in a letter.

Congratulations to the Florida Congressional delegation led by Kathy Castor and Francis Rooney to make permanent the ban on Gulf of Mexico oil drilling that Sen Mel Martinez and I first enacted in 2006.

Haven’t we had enough violence and hatred? I thought we would have decided with school shootings, then our Pulse and Parkland. Now this... We, the people, must demand a stop to encouraging hatred and purposely dividing America.

Happy to announce @UF the “Nelson Initiative on Ethics and Leadership”, the first forum will be July 2 with Sen Marco Rubio and me discussing how did a Republican and a Democrat get things done in this toxic partisan atmosphere.

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

Happy to announce the “Nelson Initiative on Ethics and Leadership” at the University of Florida. A series of public forums will follow starting in July. Four decades of my papers are there. @UF

The Florida Legislature should quickly fix the voting law to comply with a new court ruling that says signature-mismatch rules impose “a serious burden on the right to vote.” https://t.co/7QyuhkXqDJ

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

Well, things turned out a little differently than we had hoped, but I by no means feel defeated. That’s because I’ve had the privilege of serving the people of Florida for most of my life. It’s been a rewarding journey and a very humbling experience. No one could be more blessed.

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

Judge's ruling today is a victory for the right to vote and to have that vote counted.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Instead of saying every legal vote should be counted in Florida, Republicans have adopted a strategy to discredit the process.

It’s wrong – and it’s dangerous.

Count every single lawful vote. Count them fairly. Count them transparently.

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

Our mission during this recount process is to ensure every legal ballot is counted, but it's a big job, and we need help. Will you sign up to volunteer?

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

In several recent elections in Florida, tens of thousands of ballots were reportedly rejected because of a signature mismatch.

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

The votes should be recounted accurately, regardless of political ideology.

It’s clear Rick Scott cannot oversee this recount in a fair and impartial way. He should remove himself from any role in the process so the people of Florida can have confidence in the integrity of the election. #CountEveryVote

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

Seems my opponent is worried he'll lose this election if all the votes are counted. Why else would he sue to stop every vote from being counted? Why make false charges of voter fraud? We won't allow him to undermine the democratic process this way.

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

There’s zero evidence backing up claims by Republican extremists that Democrats are trying to steal the election. What we're trying to do is make sure every lawful vote is counted.

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

We will fight Rick Scott's lawsuit trying to undermine the democratic process and will use every legal tool available to protect the rights of Florida voters. https://t.co/Dg70iwTnIw

[Bill Nelson @NelsonForSenate]

The state's “signature match” policy that threw out thousands of votes in Florida prevented even a former U.S. Congressman from voting. https://t.co/I9ZewTV3IP

[Patrick Murphy @PatrickMurphyFL]

Hey @MarcACaputo, just saw notice from @PBCounty that my absentee ballot wasn’t counted due to ‘invalid signature’ match. Should be +1 @NelsonForSenate @AndrewGillum. Must overhaul these ridiculous barriers to voting #FloridaRecount #FLSen #FLGov
