AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Florida on Election Day
Voters are deciding a property-tax amendment and local races as developers, influencers and candidates spend heavily and trade attacks.
Voters across Florida cast ballots today on the Florida Amendment, which proposes property tax reductions, while Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody defends her seat against Democratic Rep. Angie Nixon.
Florida has shifted right over the last quarter-century, with 1.5 million more registered Republicans than Democrats today. This election marks the first under a new congressional map designed to boost GOP control in the House.
New Times linked developer Suntex to $2.35 million in spending with Big Tuesday Media, as the Referendum faces scrutiny over reportedly paid influencer advocacy for leasing public waterfront on Virginia Key.
South Florida contests include the Davie District race, where candidates face serious allegations. Coral Gables Commissioner Melissa Castro recently called for an investigation into Lago regarding his ties to University expansion projects.
Polls close at 7 p.m. local time today, with results expected shortly after. Florida requires a machine recount for margins of 0.5% or less, with manual recounts triggered if the margin falls to 0.25% or less.
