FL-13: “GOP, seeking ‘clarity,’ holds up task force”

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune offers this report, which begins: “Before it can even begin, a congressional task force reviewing Sarasota’s disputed election is already bogging down. In a move that seems to portend the bitter partisanship that awaits, GOP leaders are refusing to even appoint a member to the task force, preventing the newly created group’s chairman from setting a schedule or even basic ground rules for how the investigation will start. It’s yet another frustrating delay for Democrat Christine Jennings, who has been disputing Republican Vern Buchanan’s 369-vote margin of victory for the 13th Congressional District since November.”
