RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. -- The final vote count from the Florida Division of Elections in the state races that went to a hand recount are in.

In the race for the U.S. Senate, Governor Rick Scott leads Senator Bill Nelson by about 10,035 votes.

And in the contest for Commissioner of Agriculture, Democrat Nikki Fried leads Republican Matt Caldwell by just shy of 7,000 votes.

In the Palm Beach County House of Representatives race runoff, Republican Mike Caruso is leading over Democrat Jim Bonfiglio.

Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, Susan Bucher, says they got the results to the state with only one second to spare.

Now the candidates who are trailing will have to decide whether to go to court to appeal the vote count, or whether to concede.
