Alex won election campaigning against the Miami Heat Stadium and once elected he SWITCHED SIDES becoming that bad deals biggest cheerleader. 16 years later and the Heat have NEVER paid a penny in rent.

The decision to shutdown the recount was made by a bipartisan canvassing board who said they did not have enough time to complete the recount.
