For the Florida Senate Seat, Republican Marco Rubio has clearly defeated both Independent candidate, and Governor, Charlie Crist, as well as Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek. With 90% of the vote counted in Florida, Rubio garnered 49% of them, while Crist had 30%, and Meek 20%, The results were pretty much expected if you followed the polls prior to the elections. Also, considering that Crist and Meek have only received approximately 50% of the total votes combines, it’s safe to say that even if Meek had dropped out of the election like some Democrats had hoped, Rubio still would have been the victor.
In the race for Governor in the state of Florida, things are extremely close. With 89% of precincts reporting this morning, Republican Rick Scott is barely ahead of his Democratic rival, Alex Sink. Scott commands 49% of the vote to Sink’s 48%. This election was fought hard to the very end by both candidates, and it may be quite a while before we hear official final results for this 2010 Florida Governor’s election. Pre-election polls had actually given Sink a very slight advantage, so Scott is fairing a bit better than expected. Having said this we still have yet to hear from 11% of the states voters.
