Scott Wins Florida’s Governor’s Race

On Wednesday morning it became official as Republican Rick Scott was announced as the new governor of the state of Florida.

The Florida Gubernatoral race was one of the closest in the country as Scott won the vote 49 percent to 48 percent over his Democratic challenger, Alex Sink.

This race was close but the Scott campaign kept vigilant in their stance that it was ‘mathematically impossible’ for Sink to be able to surpass the nearly 70,000 vote lead that Scott had. After 99 percent of the vote was counted, the Sink camp conceded the race to Scott on Wednesday morning.
