More on that recount mess in Florida’s 13th. The local election supervisor — who had earlier expressed skepticism about the likelihood of voting discrepancies in the district’s congressional race — has now changed course and is asking the state to conduct an audit. From The Herald Tribune:
Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent has asked the Florida Department of State to audit Tuesday’s election after the recounts are completed….
“Because of the hullabaloo and the focus on this race, I just think it’s a good idea to have this audit,” Dent said. “They would look at everything … soup to nuts.”
Of course, the Secretary of State has refused to investigate the reported problems. Let’s see if that changes now.
