Because they can't win if they don't cheat

And if that doesn't work, they'll just make a loud stink.
After the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Thursday night it would investigate two local election officials at the request of Gov. Rick Scott, the agency now says that because no voter fraud allegations were made, it is no longer pursuing an investigation.

[...]

During an event organized by his U.S. Senate campaign Thursday night, Scott asked FDLE to investigate Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. Those two counties have come under heat from Republicans because after Scott, GOP gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis and Republican Agriculture Commissioner candidate Matt Caldwell led their Democratic opponents after election night, their leads have narrowed as the two Democratic stronghold counties continued to find votes.

“Broward and Palm Beach Counties are still finding and counting ballots,” Scott said at the event, which was held at the Florida Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee. “The people of Florida deserve fairness and transparency, and the supervisors are failing to give it to them.”

A spokesman for Scott’s campaign said Friday that Scott stands by his statements from last night despite the law enforcement agency’s decision to not investigate.

Of course he does. He's a dick.
President Donald Trump has sent a series of tweets Friday about the race, saying in one tweet, he is “sending much better lawyers to expose the FRAUD!“
Of course he did. He's a dick.
Scott and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson are now separated by just .18 percent of the votes cast. If that margin holds, the race would end up in a manual recount under Florida law.
Interrupted by a GOP lawsuit to the Supreme Court to have the count halted?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
