He can suspend them or he can stand around and just accept the blame for what happened.

Florida Constitution Art IV,SECTION 7. Suspensions; filling office during suspensions.-- 1(a) By executive order stating the grounds and filed with the secretary of state, the governor may suspend from office any state officer not subject to impeachment, any officer of the militia not in the active service of the United States, or any county officer, for malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, drunkenness, incompetence, permanent inability to perform official duties, or commission of a felony, and may fill the office by appointment for the period of suspension. The suspended officer may at any time before removal be reinstated by the governor.

(b) The senate may, in proceedings prescribed by law, remove from office or reinstate the suspended official and for such purpose the senate may be convened in special session by its president or by a majority of its membership.

(c) By order of the governor any elected municipal officer indicted for crime may be suspended from office until acquitted and the office filled by appointment for the period of suspension, not to extend beyond the term, unless these powers are vested elsewhere by law or the municipal charter.

Then I stand corrected. However I still am skeptical about whether the definition of 'incompetence' has been reached. Don't remember much from Business Law, but seems like substantial performance was pretty sloppy, something like 90% would qualify.

But think it through. Say Jeb removes one or both, and then the local Dem org. pulls the same stunts of pollworker sickouts, lateness, etc. You know the media will be on the air those first few hours screaming how with all Jeb's changes, it still botched and actually worse this time. Screaming that all day, another chance for the media to electioneer.
