In one of those accusations on Twitter, Rubio tried to compare the recount situation to a NFL game.
“Imagine if NFL team was trailing 24-22 but in final seconds hits a 3 pt kick to win,” he wrote. “Then AFTER game lawyers for losing team get a judge to order rules changed so that last second field goals are only 1 point.”
