It looks like, despite claims to the contrary on Buchanan’s part, there were definitely equipment related voting problems in the race for FL-13. On Dec 21st, Buchanan’s campaign released this: Furthermore, [Jennings’s] absurd allegations that the voting machines failed to record thousands of votes have been proven false by the Secretary of State who after two [...]
Joe Redner lost his bid to sit on the Hillsborough County Commission. But here’s an interesting little note.
