Contested U.S. House 110th Congress Election.

  • On 20 November election officials certified Republican Vernon "Vern" Buchanan (119,309 votes, 50.08%) as the winner by 369 votes. Democratic Christine L. Jennings received (118,940 votes, 49.92%). Democratic Christine L. Jennings filed a lawsuit in Leon County requesting a new election arguing that a malfunction in the voting machines caused a 12.9% undervote (18,412 blank ballots).
  • An audit of the machines began the week of 27 November using a 12 hour scripted "mock election". The first tests, performed 28 November on voting machines not brought into service on election day, showed a CD 13 discrepancy of 5 votes (in favor of Jennings). However, video tapes revealed that the differences were due to participants making mistakes while choosing their selections. The second tests, performed 1 December on voting machines that had an undervote on election day, showed no discrepancies in the CD 13 contest. The final audit report found no evidence of machine malfunction.
  • On 20 December 2006 Circuit Judge William Gary ruled that Jennings arguments about the possibility of lost votes did not warrant disclosing the trade secrets of the voting machine company Election Systems & Software. Jennings stated she will appeal.
  • On 20 December 2006 Jennings filed a Notice of Contest with the U.S. House.
  • Vernon "Vern" Buchanan was seated in Congress on 4 January 2007. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the legal proceedings would be handled later.
  • Christine Jennings decided to withdraw the lawsuit in Florida courts on 28 November 2007.

 ** Open Seat (no incumbent) **
 

 
Wednesday 28 September 2005: House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Republican, Texas CD 22) was indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme by a Texas grand jury. "In accordance with the rules of the House Republican Conference, I will temporarily step aside as floor leader in order to win exoneration from these baseless charges." Congressman Roy Blunt (Republican, Missouri CD 7), the majority Whip, became interim Leader. Congressman John Boehner (Ohio) was elected House Majority Leader on 2 February 2006.

Congressman Tom DeLay was renominated on 7 March 2006 by Primary. On 4 April 2006, Congressman Delay withdrew his nomination and announced his intention to resign. A resignation date of 9 June was announced on 11 May. On 7 April Governor Perry stated he would not call a special election to fill the seat once it becomes vacant.

On 8 August 2006 former Congressman Tom DeLay decided to withdraw his name from the Republican line on the General Election ballot.

The Republican Party planned to name a replacement nominee however, on 8 June 2006 District Judge Darlene Byrne issued an injunction. Legal arguments regarding the GOP's ability to name a replacement were heard on 22 June. On 6 July 2006, District Court Judge Sam Sparks ruled that Congressman Tom DeLay is eligible to run for re-election thus preventing the GOP from naming a replacement candidate. The Texas Republican Party appealed and the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an expedited hearing. On 3 August 2006 the Fifth Circuit ruled that Delay's is to appear on the November ballot. On 7 August 2006 Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia rejected a request to stay the Fifth Circuit Court ruling. The Texas Republican Party will not pursue this case further. Mr. DeLay withdrew his name from the General Election ballot on 8 August 2006. Reference: Texas Democratic Party v. Benkiser 06-50812.

As a result of DeLay's action, it appears there will be no Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives on the ballot in TX CD 22 in November.
