In a state where lawsuits contesting elections are a rarity, Holland & Knight’s Jake Evans has done something it appears no one else has: He persuaded a judge to overturn the same race, twice.
Last year, Evans persuaded a senior superior court judge to overturn the Republican primary for House District 28, citing at least 74 voters who were given the wrong ballots.

There was no Democratic or third-party candidate.
