Escambia Completes Vote Recount With Little Change

November 15, 2018

The Escambia County Supervisor of Elections has completed a machine recount of three statewide races — U.S. Senate, governor and commissioner of agriculture.

In the Senate race, Republican Rick Scott gained three votes in Escambia County, and Democratic Bill Nelson lost two votes. In the race for governor, Ron DeSantis gained one vote, while Democrat Andrew Gillum’s total remained the same. In the race for Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture, Republican Matt Caldwell and Democrat Nikki Fried each gained one vote in Escambia County.

In the event the Secretary of State orders a manual recount, the Escambia County Canvassing Board will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Friday at the Supervisor of Elections Office at 213 Palafox Place. If more time is needed, the canvassing board will meet at 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. All meetings are open to the public.

    “341 total (not thousand)”

    Sorry. Total provisional. They couldn’t vote with ID or something they had and voted provided they proved that their votes should be counted.

    Escambia County has about 317,000 or so population
    About 250,000 were eligible to vote
    About 215,000 were Registered to vote
    About 130,000 actually Voted
    About 45% are Republicans
    About. 33% are Democrats
    About. 22% are Others
    About. 54% of Registered are Female
    About. 46% of Registered are Male
    David Stanford and staff did a remarkable job (Escambia County)
    More than 60 other Counties did a remarkable job
    A couple Counties ( prolly 70% Registered Democrats) didn’t
    So here we are “We The People” once again.

    Gman, I agree. Escambia Co. runs a tight ship in elections because it is staffed with professionals, workers and volunteers who have integrity and have had their background checked. I call on Gov. Scott to remove the supervisors of elections in any county that does not follow FL and National election laws.

    Nice. This is all most voters want. Their vote to matter and be counted. I had my favorite picks but I want the person that most people wanted in office. No cheating. No lying. Just accurately count the votes and report it. That’s all.

    It’s really stupid that all 67 counties have to engage in this extra work all because of the gross incompetence and probably fraud in Broward and Palm Beach Counties elections offices. The Supervisor of Elections in those counties should be fired.

  9. Gman on November 15th, 2018 6:45 am

    Every county in Florida should sue the supervisor of elections in Broward for any extra expense they caused in this debacle.
