On Tuesday, November 3rd, Americans across the nation exercised our most important right as citizens – the right to vote. Turnout for mail in voting far exceeded past elections and overall turnout was robust. As in most recent presidential elections, Florida has played a pivotal role in who will become the next president as a perennial “purple” state with a coveted 29 Electoral Votes at stake.

The Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Florida Government Relations Team will keep you updated with the most relevant and insightful election analysis – that will certainly impact every industry. In addition, Buchanan’s Federal and Pennsylvania State Government Relations teams are actively tracking election results and updating our clients on how the election can impact their operations in Florida, Pennsylvania, and across the country.  To review the latest election result updates and analysis from Buchanan, please visit our blog: knowinggovernmentrelations.com.

In addition, former Governor Jeb Bush wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal outlining his perspective on Florida’s vote counting model, in light of the 2020 election.
