However....the lawyer for his opponent, Mack Bernard, said he was very concerned by the number of votes that were rejected because of poll worker error, not voter error and indicated Bernard may challenge the result in court.
It should be noted that the lawyer for Bernard is a former Republican state legislator, while the lawyer for Clemens, Ron Meyer, is a biggie Democrat lawyer who represents the teacher's union, and sued last year to overturn the Gov. Rick Scott law ending teacher tenure in the state of Florida. In his campaign, Bernard emphasized education and the need for educational reform.
