New: A Florida county discovered Flock cameras along its roads that officials didn’t know were there.

No one has publicly claimed them. Who has operated them — and who has had access to their data — remains a mystery.

On election night, Miami-Dade’s elections chief said María Elvira Salazar had won FL-27, "with or without a recount."

A federal judge today called that a “really dumb statement” but let her stay on the board overseeing the recount.

Florida (narrowly) escaped the blue wave.

So how did Republicans manage to hold on? I spoke with a few political analysts to find out.

www.washingtonpost.com Does Florida’s narrow escape from the blue wave hold lessons for Republicans? Unlike Texas, the deep-red state held back Democratic challengers in its statewide races. The current governor thinks he knows why.

Miami-Dade voters have ousted Republican (and onetime reality TV star) @FabianBasabeFL, choosing Democrat @luciabaezgeller months after a civil jury found Basabe liable for sexual harassment.

I gave this office everything I had.
 
I didn’t do everything perfectly. But I hope no one ever doubted my willingness to work hard, stand up for our district, and fight for the people I was entrusted to represent.
 
For four years, we challenged powerful interests, brought resources home, and crossed party lines to serve our community. I will always be proud of what we accomplished together, and I’d do it all over again, even knowing the brutal challenges it would bring me.
 
I leave with no bitterness, only gratitude, pride in our work, and tremendous love for this community.
 
To everyone who will carry this work forward, I wish you wisdom and success. Our community deserves both. The voters made their choice, and I respect it.
 
To everyone who stood beside me, especially through the hardest moments, thank you. I could not have done it without you. Your trust and friendship will stay with me forever.
 
Thank you for allowing me to be your voice. It was the honor of my life.
 
Fabián.
