A Primary Day Experiment

So I am told there is a primary election in Florida today. The real game kicks off tomorrow morning after we know exactly what the November election will look like in Florida, but tonight, I attempt an experiment in blog coverage. I have created blog posts below on every major statewide and Congressional election being waged in Florida tonight. As the results flow in, I will update each of these posts.

I will also have a post above this one tonight declaring the winners as we learn them. It will be an adventure. Of course, I have some professional obligations tonight as well, and do plan to tuck my kids in at some point. So this may all fall apart. But hopefully this turns out fantastic and can be duplicated again in November.

Here are links to my posts.

FL-Senate: Is is Meek or Greene?

FL-Governor: Will the GOP pick McCollum or Scott?

FL-02: Can Boyd fend off Lawson?

FL-08: Who will face Grayson in November?

FL-17: A successor for Meek is chosen.

FL-24: Kosmas has a primary and the GOP names a challenger

FL-Attorney General: Both parties have unpredictable contests.

Other House races: Of little consequence, but who knows?

Primary Day - FL-17

Update: Wilson has maintained her lead. Not to take anything away from the Congresswoman-elect, but I had to point out that because this race is not being contested seriously by two major parties, a member of the U.S. House just got elected with less than 13,000 votes.

But congratulations. At least there was a race this year and voters got to weigh in at some level.

Update: Looks like this will be Rep. Wilson. She has 33 percent when noone else can beat 16 percent.

I feel genuinely bad not to know much about this race. The media as a whole has under-covered it severely. But tonight is the de facto election. This is Kendrick Meek's seat, and there is no contest to speak of in November, so it won't affect the balance of power.

The Democrats running for the long-time Meek-held district are Marleine Bastien, Phillip Brutus, James Bush, Scott Galvin, Shirley Gibson, Rudy Moise, Yolly Roberson, Andre Williams, and Frederica Wilson.
