Florida Elections Commission Closes Taylor Complaint

Commission closes complaint

The Florida Elections Commission has closed a complaint filed by Taylor against watchdogs involved in the Fort Meade recall. The closure ends the commission’s action on that complaint.

The complaint’s allegations, the commission’s reasoning and any findings are not described in the record cited here. The closure itself does not establish whether the watchdogs agreed with Taylor, disputed the complaint or took any other position.

Recall chair seeks help with costs

At the same time, the chair of the Fort Meade recall effort is seeking help to cover attorney costs. The request is tied to legal expenses connected with the recall, but the amount sought, the person or group being asked for assistance and the terms of any arrangement are not stated.

The two developments concern separate parts of the recall process: the Florida Elections Commission’s decision on Taylor’s complaint and the chair’s effort to address attorney costs. Neither development changes the fact that the commission has closed the complaint.
