David Jolly Beats Out Alex Sink in CD 13

With overseas and provisional ballots still out, Republican candidate David Jolly holds a solid lead over Democratic rival former state CFO Alex Sink in a special election on Tuesday to win the seat held for decades by his former boss, the late U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla.

Despite being outspent by the Sink campaign, with all precincts in, Jolly holds a solid lead for the seat, which represents parts of Pinellas County, with a 3,400 vote margin, taking 48.4 percent of the vote. Sink had 46.6 percent of the vote. Libertarian hopeful Lucas Overby garnered 4.8 percent of the vote.
