Florida House race loser sues

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- State officials Monday certified that Republican Vern Buchanan won the House seat being vacated by Republican Rep. Katherine Harris, though the loser immediately sued for a new election, arguing that touch-screen voting machines had malfunctioned.

Democrat Christine Jennings contested her 369-vote loss in the 13th District, asking a judge to order a new election because of problems in Sarasota County, where more than 17,000 voters who cast ballots in other races Nov. 7 failed to vote in the congressional contest.

That rate is nearly six times higher than in the other counties in the congressional district or on Sarasota's paper absentee ballots, Jennings alleges in her legal challenge. Though she lost in the other four counties in the district, Jennings did well in Sarasota County, winning there by a margin of 6 percentage points.


Snip

The lawsuit is not Jennings' final option.

She also could appeal the results to the House, which will be under Democratic control next year.

4. good for her

It would be divine irony at it's finest if this lawsuit blows the cork off all the suppressed info we've been screaming about for years, especially in light of it being creulla's former seat.

Aaand hey. . .I thought you were taking a couple weeks off. LOL

Jebbie's lads are rubbing America's nose in this male bovine excrement with relish and aplomb. Hopefully the House will refuse to seat the certified winner. :mad:

10. Worst race I have ever looked at

undervotes came from Sarasota county.

16.7% came from ES&S DREs

2.6% came from opscans, scanning paper ballots.

The fact that the under vote is 2.6% for absentee ballots reveals the falacy of the argument that the race was very ugly, turning off voters, thus a whole bunch of people did not vote in the race. How can it be that the nasty campaign only affected voters who voted on touch screen voting machines and not their neighbors that voted on paper? (And it can’t be explained away by any late and particularly vicious ads, since voters were early voting – or 'not voting' according to the results – for two weeks before the election on the touch screen machines as well.)

But it’s actually much worse than most of the media is reporting. The actual under vote in the precincts is 16.17%. The reason the media is reporting 13% is they do not know that the under votes on absentee (paper) ballots is 2.6%. The average (weighted for the greater number of precinct votes) for both absentee ballots and precinct votes is 13%. Absentee voters in Sarasota County voted on paper ballots counted by optical scanners while those who voted at early voting centers and at polling places on Election Day voted on ES&S iVotronic touchscreen voting machines.
