TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida voters decided to keep a commission that meets every 20 years to make changes to the state constitution despite lawmakers who argued it is no longer needed.
Critics said Florida's Constitutional Revision Commission had gone beyond its original mandate and lacked accountability, and the Legislature decided last year to ask voters to abolish it in a ballot measure.

In all three CD 8 counties, Posey held a dominating lead with a majority of precincts reporting. He had about 65% of the vote to Terry’s 35%.
The incumbent expended more than $529,000 on his re-election effort, but still closed a federal reporting period on Oct. 19 with more than $580,000 in cash on hand. By comparison, Terry only ever raised $85,019 for the longshot bid.
