佛罗里达州众议院第33选区机器重计确认麦克道以286票击败现任米勒：73759人投票、得票率50.2%对49.8%，布里瓦德县核票会周五认证
佛罗里达州布里瓦德县墨尔本市消息，在布里瓦德县选举监督办公室进行一天机器重计后，佛罗里达州众议院第 33 选区的胜负落定：民主党人丹·麦克道获胜，以不到半个百分点的差距击败共和党现任议员莫妮克·米勒。据《佛罗里达今日报》报道，重计结果显示麦克道领先对手 286 票；选举监督办公室数据显示，该选区共有 73759 人投票。
麦克道曾任西墨尔本市议员，米勒是棕榈湾的现任议员。该选区涵盖棕榈湾与西墨尔本部分地区。重计后，麦克道以 50.2% 对 49.8% 的得票率胜出，两人的得票份额均未变动。麦克道在重计中少了 2 票，米勒只多了 1 票，因为选举委员会认定麦克道的一张选票上有一处杂散标记。两名候选人都在场观看了重计过程。重计后，麦克道随即离场，为 11 月 11 日在塔拉哈西举行的议员就职培训作准备。
这场众议院选举是 11 月 3 日大选后布里瓦德县进入重计的两场选举之一。另一场是卡纳维拉尔角市议会选举，工作人员 11 月 10 日在墨尔本的选举支持中心进行了机器计票，并计划 11 月 11 日对投出的 8222 张选票进行人工重计。布里瓦德县选举监督蒂姆·博巴尼克在声明中说，市议会选举机器重计后总票数没有变化，差距仍为 0.2%，因此触发人工重计。在该市议会选举中，现任议员凯·杰克逊与唐·威利斯得票居前，丹·库恩以仅 17 票之差领先布拉德·珀维尔，争夺第三席。
麦克道成为十多年来首位代表布里瓦德县进入佛罗里达州议会的民主党人，他将成为该县唯一一名州级民选民主党人。米勒在 2024 年曾以近 13 个百分点的优势赢得该席位。第 33 选区在此次选举前一直被视为共和党堡垒。据选举监督办公室最新数据，该选区 134213 名登记选民中，共和党人有 54289 人，民主党人 39004 人。
按州规则，重计选区的选票须重新通过计票机，投出多选或未选的选票会被分开；若重计后的差距小于 0.25%，核票会将检查被计票机拒收的选票，寻找选民作出选择的明确迹象。布里瓦德县核票会定于周五认证选举结果。州级媒体另有汇编显示，麦克道此次在佛罗里达州众议院为民主党拿下第 50 席。
A Machine Recount in Florida House District 33 Confirms Dan McDow's Win Over Incumbent Monique Miller by 286 Votes: 73,759 People Voted, the Split Was 50.2 Percent to 49.8 Percent, and Brevard County's Canvassing Board Certifies on Friday
MELBOURNE, Brevard County, Florida — After a day of machine recounts at the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections office, the Florida House of Representatives District 33 race was decided with Democrat Dan McDow as the winner, maintaining his margin of less than half a percent to defeat Republican incumbent Monique Miller, Florida Today reported. The recount results put McDow 286 votes ahead of his opponent, and Supervisor of Elections data shows 73,759 people voted in the race.
McDow, a former West Melbourne city councilman, will now represent Palm Bay and West Melbourne in Tallahassee, and will be Brevard's only Democrat in a state office after unseating Miller, who won the legislative race by nearly 13 points in 2024. With McDow receiving 50.2 percent to Miller's 49.8 percent, neither candidate's total share of the vote budged after the recount. McDow lost two votes in the recount, and Miller gained only one vote after the elections board determined one of McDow's votes was a stray mark on the ballot. Both candidates were present watching the recount take place. After the recount, McDow left to prepare for the legislative orientation in Tallahassee taking place November 11.
The House race was one of two Brevard County races to go to a recount after the November 3 election. In the Cape Canaveral City Council race, results were tallied by machine on November 10 at the Election Support Center in Melbourne, and staff planned to conduct a manual recount of the 8,222 votes cast on November 11. Supervisor of Elections Tim Bobanic said in a statement that after the machine recount for the Cape Canaveral race there was no change in the total number of votes, so the race was still at a margin of 0.2 percent, which triggers a manual recount. In that race, Dan Coon led Brad Pervell by just 17 votes out of more than 8,000 cast for the third seat.
The District 33 seat had appeared to be a Republican stronghold. According to Supervisor of Elections data, Republicans in District 33 outnumber Democrats 54,289 to 39,004 out of the district's 134,213 total registered voters. State rules call for the ballots from the recount races to be rerun through tabulating machines, and if the recounted totals are separated by less than 0.25 percent, the canvassing board examines the ballots rejected by the machines for clear indications of voter choice. The Brevard County Canvassing Board is scheduled to certify the election results on Friday. A statewide media compilation put McDow's win as the seat that brought Democrats to 50 in the Florida House.
