Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner ordered recounts for three election contests Saturday after unofficial results showed the races for Senate, governor, and agriculture commissioner within the margin to trigger a recount.

Vote numbers were displayed on the Florida secretary of state’s website soon after the noon deadline Saturday for county officials to submit unofficial vote totals to the state. Detzner, who is a Scott appointee, made the recount decision soon after.
