On August 31, Florida Representative Kevin Ambler filed a lawsuit in state court to void the results of the August 24 primary in the State Senate race in the 12th district (Tampa area).  Ambler lost the Republican primary by a vote of 14,603 for himself, to 18,547 votes for Jim Norman.

The lawsuit charges that Norman didn’t report a very large business transaction on his campaign finance reports, and therefore the primary was tainted and should be reversed.  See this story.

No one filed to be on the ballot in any party in this race except these two Republicans.  There are two declared write-in candidates, however.
