In tight races across the country, some Republican candidates have sought to create a narrative without evidence that their wins are being stolen from them.

As a number of races have yet to be called throughout the country, a
number of Republican candidates in close contests have said that
standard vote-counting procedures are an effort by Democrats to steal
elections.
This has been most visible in Florida, where a messy
ballot process and a state-mandated machine recount have complicated a
razor-thin Senate race between Republican Gov. Rick Scott and incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson. (The state’s gubernatorial race between Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum is also under recount, though the initial margin there is larger for DeSantis.)
The senate election recount has involved lawsuits
and questions about how many provisional and mail-in ballots were
determined invalid because of signature discrepancies. It’s even
possible that a poor ballot design in liberal Broward County—where there were a lot of undervotes—could cost Nelson the race.
