Read this bit of old news.......Election '98: Harris defeats Gievers for secretary of state Wednesday, November 4, 1998 By BILL KACZOR, Associated Press TALLAHASSEE - Republican Katherine Harris defeated Democrat Karen Gievers in the race for secretary of state in early returns Tuesday after a bruising campaign. With 3,746 of 5,768 precincts reporting, Harris had 1,259,153 votes, or 55 percent, compared with Gievers' 1,045,351 votes, or 45 percent. Harris, a state senator from Sarasota, and Gievers, a Miami lawyer and children's advocate, had attacked each other in television commercials during the last week of the campaign. The Cabinet seat became vacant when Harris defeated incumbent Sandra Mortham in an even nastier GOP primary. Gievers criticized Harris for taking illegal campaign contributions and voting to give a tax break to billionaire sports team owner H. Wayne Huizenga. Harris labeled her opponent a liberal and accused her of supporting the state's largest-ever tax increase. Both claims are false, Gievers insisted.
