Florida Elections Results Certified

November 19, 2014

The results of the state’s November 4 general election, which included the re-election of Gov. Rick Scott and each member of the state Cabinet, were quickly certified Tuesday by a substitute lineup of the Elections Canvassing Commission.

The commission certifying the results consisted of outgoing Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville; Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island; and Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland.

Normally the commission consists of Scott and two members of the Cabinet, but each selected a replacement.

“Some of the principals that were on the ballot decided it might be better, less any kind of conflict, to actually excuse themselves,” Secretary of State Ken Detzner said. “I thought it went very well.”
