The election was initially scheduled to occur on April 6, the last day of Passover. However, Lynch met with Governor Crist and expressed his concern that a significant portion of the Jewish population would not have an opportunity to vote and national Jewish advocacy groups, citing the schedule conflict and the high density of Jewish voters in the district, called for the election to be moved to a later date. Ultimately, then-Governor Charlie Crist called Lynch to inform him that he decided to move the election to April 13, 2010.[1]
