They could very well paper the district explaining the quirk of FL law the prohibits a name substitution and hold most of the Rep. voters. This, of course, assumes that the majority of Rep. voters in FL-16 read the materials. I'm in FL-13, so who knows? The FL Republican Party is pretty generous in sending out elections materials.

But if you first explain that no matter the name, someone other than (not named, just generic republican), the vote tightens to a 1 point dem lead among registered voters. I keep thinking of the lake placid hockey announcer "Do you believe in miracles" when I think about FL-16 and TX-22. These should be dead to rights dem seats because of unusual circumstances, but there is still a chance the GOP can pull them out. An interesting poll on the subject via crosstabs

The black letter law made it quite clear under what circumstances a recount should take place and what the deadline was.
