Buongiorno’s questionnaire is replete with myths and falsehoods. He doubts the reliability of Florida election results because, he said, they cannot be "manually verified." Voting tabulation machines are tested frequently and results are audited, then certified by a canvassing board usually chaired by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Buongiorno claims without evidence that "public trust in our elections has eroded to new lows," when any mistrust is largely due to Donald Trump's continued lie that he won the 2020 election. Election results in Florida are extremely reliable.
For the first time, the Sun Sentinel Editorial Board will not publish online a questionnaire submitted by a candidate. It was submitted by Jeff Buongiorno, an elections conspiracy theorist and the Republican candidate for supervisor of elections in Palm Beach County.
The Sun Sentinel's decision not to endorse the candidate was fundamentally about the refusal to accept unfounded claims that sow doubt in the electoral process. Their editorial stood firmly against misinformation that has proliferated in the political climate, emphasizing the importance of maintaining public trust in the electoral system.
