Republican Elections Supervisors across Florida crush election denier challengers

Republican Elections Supervisors in Florida faced far-right Primary challenges on Tuesday, with opponents questioning Florida’s election integrity.

But in Charlotte, Collier, Lake, Lee and Pinellas counties, incumbents won their races overwhelmingly. The election deniers looking to run elections all fared poorly.

“They were all smoked,” said Lee County Supervisor of Elections Tommy Doyle.

Despite personal scandal days before the election, Doyle cruised to victory in an open Republican Primary, winning more than 80% of the vote over Republican challenger Mick Peters.

In Lake County, incumbent Supervisor of Elections Alan Hays has been an outspoken defender of Florida’s elections. He has maintained that position even as the Lake County Republican Party passed resolutions demanding forensic audits of the 2020 Presidential Election.
