Gee....UF football players blocking their own guys, and now this. Something in the water down there?

Florida has just one-upped Delaware in the beauty-pageant gaffe department: The Miss Florida pageant crowned the wrong winner last Saturday because of a vote-counting error and has had to make an embarrassing about-face, reports the Miami Herald.
The pageant initially named Elizabeth Fechtel its winner, and the 20-year-old University of Florida student basked in the glory for all of five days, until a pageant official arrived at her house Thursday evening to inform her that first runner-up Victoria Cowen is getting the crown instead.

I would have just let it go, accept the mistake and brush it under the carpet.

That would not count as a valid ballot at your local polling place. Hopefully, they will compensate the young lady in some other way for their mistake.

how many judges did they have? I always thought they had like 3 or 5 judges

At least there can be no blame on dimpled or swinging chads.....

I feel bad for her. That would suck! I hope the pageant system gives her a really nice consolation prize.
