Florida's long election nightmare is finally over.
It took just a few minutes for the Elections Canvassing Commission to meet in Tallahassee this morning and certify the results of the November 6th voting plus subsequent recounts.
Republican Governor Rick Scott took the U.S. Senate race over Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson by just over ten-thousand votes and Republican Ron DeSantis was elected governor by some 32-thousand votes over Democrat Andrew Gillum.
Fort Lauderdale attorney Nikki Fried became the only Democrat elected to statewide office by defeating Republican Matt Caldwell for agriculture commissioner by fewer than seven-thousand votes.
