Election Do-Over In Florida-13 Is A Possibility

Brian Zick

Georgia10 at dailykos says The recount in FL-13 is over, and Republican Vern Buchanan leads Democrat Christine Jennings by 369 votes. But it ain't over yet. (…) On Monday, the state will officially certify Buchanan as the winner, triggering the 10-day time period during which Jennings may challenge the results. If Jennings decides to go to court, she may argue that the only remedy is a new election. Is there precedent for a nullifying an election? Yes.
