Former Miss Florida says officials did right thing

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A day after a vote tabulation error took away her Miss Florida crown, the former pageant winner says she’s devastated about losing the title, but believes officials did the right thing.

Elizabeth Fechtel, who won the crown last week before being reduced to runner-up on Friday, told The Associated Press on Saturday that she believes that “it’s fair that they go back and initially play by the rules.”
