I voted for him, but I don’t think anybody could know all the things the office involves.

Did not read anything about banks and financial work in this article as Jeanne Dobson stated.

Congratulations to Nikki although I voted for Caldwell that knows the business.

Great news that Brenda Snipes has voluntarily left her position before being fired. Hopefully her co-workers will go by the State Rules for counting ballots and not Brenda’s policies.

It is absolutely normal for the larger counties in Florida to continue counting ballots well after election night, as is true in many other states around the country, and there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any election fraud and/or impropriety in the final counts that were delivered. The recounts changed the final vote totals only slightly, and had nothing whatsoever to do with flipping the results of this or any other election in Florida. It is tragic that some have chosen to portray the vote tallying process as some kind of voter fraud when, in fact, it is the only way to know for sure which candidate actually received the largest number of votes. I can guarantee you that, if there was any fraud, it would have impacted the Senate and/or governor’s race as opposed to the contest referenced in this story. Caldwell is a sore loser and it is shameful for him to suggest that he didn’t lose this race fair and square.

This is why I voted for this man in the first place. He is honest and knows all about hard work. It is a shame the Florida voters lost him to fraudulent activity. I hate to see how someone who won the election Thur fraudulent activity handles the job.

Hmmm. From +41,000 to -6,000. Great recount.

I will no longer be using either of the aforementioned banks for any of my financial work. Not that I did.
Maybe they don’t need to do business in Florida if this is the way they feel! Good riddance.
Good luck Nikki in your new job. Some new faces in the political arena may be what we need to move forward for a change.
