It's hard not to think that Republican Governor Rick Scott (engaged in a close battle for the Senate against Bill Nelson) is dragging his feet on purpose, if we read this new article in a Tallahassee newspaper entitled "In Florida, a slow wait for news on hurricane’s death toll":
Also,
The state is saying that the medical examiner had no water or power for a long time so he hasn't been able to count much:
How convenient. Is Rick Scott waiting until the day after the midterms to issue an updated count?
By the way, the FEMA chief has a motive for secrecy as well. After all, this is Trump's FEMA.

..."The state has officially acknowledged just two deaths so far – and one death was in northeast Florida, far from the ground-zero fury of the Category 4 storm."
Also,
..."But both Long and Gov. Rick Scott, however, sidestepped questions late Sunday* after they returned from an all-day trip to some of the hard-hit communities."
The state is saying that the medical examiner had no water or power for a long time so he hasn't been able to count much:
"Part of the problem state emergency officials say is that the medical examiner office responsible for certifying deaths in several of the hardest-hit counties was without power or water until Monday."
How convenient. Is Rick Scott waiting until the day after the midterms to issue an updated count?
