Just before the election, Nixon was involved in political controversy after former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown filed a complaint for injunctive relief against Nixon, accusing her of disseminating fraudulent “quick pick” voter guides in Duval County.

Nixon denied that she or her campaign had any involvement in the distribution of the “fraudulent” quick-pick guides.
