Fire Election May Be Repeated By Jim Chitwood
An Okaloosa County fire district race may be rerun after a voting machine allegedly counted only three votes for incumbent Joel Adler. The canvassing board asked a circuit judge to allow opening the machine to test its counter, potentially leading to a new election. Adler and others weigh legal options while results show Woodward 899, Brunson 811, Burleson 746, Dunlap 728, Adler 702.
