Incumbent Florida senator Rick Scott has increased his lead over challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell to double digits according to the latest poll conducted by ActiVote, released on Monday. However, the Republican senator showed no signs of putting his guard down with one week to go to election day, accusing the Democrat of allegedly violating Florida election laws by filming herself inside a polling location.

Mucarsel-Powell uploaded a video seemingly inside a polling station during the weekend in anticipation of her casting her early ballot. "I'm about to cast my ballot, and I am honored and emotional thinking about every Floridian who voted to get us to this point" read the caption, adding "Let's bring this home, Florida."
