Two of the most negative and expensive primary battles this cycle are coming to an end tonight in Florida, and our sister site, The Florida Independent, will be covering the results live. This pagewill be updating throughout the night (so bookmark it!) with results and dispatches from our reporters, who will be positioned at candidates’ election night parties across the state. You can also follow the action via Twitter, @FLindependent.
Here are the three top races of national interest, courtesy of TFI:
Rick Scott vs. Bill McCollum
The most heated and controversial campaign in the state so far, the battle between Republican gubernatorial candidates Rick Scottand Bill McCollumpits a multimillionaire former health care executive seeking high office for the first time against a former congressman and Florida’s current attorney general. Recent polls offer conflicting information on who is likely to win.
Kendrick Meek vs. Jeff Greene
Another intense competition, this race for the Democratic Party’s U.S. Senate nomination features Miami’s Rep. Kendrick Meek, who recent poll indicate has built a comfortable lead over billionaire latecomer Jeff Greene. Whoever wins faces an uphill battle in the three-way race for the U.S. Senate, as both poll consistently behind Republican candidate Marco Rubio and independent candidate Gov. Charlie Crist.
U.S. House District 8 Republican primary
The race to square off against firebrand Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, features a bevy of candidates, a host of infighting and disputesbetween tea party movement activists and the organized, officially recognized Florida Tea Party.
