Official updates since Election Day

Each entry records one Florida election-office document and the exact reporting unit it covers. It is not a statewide count, a race call or a certification unless the entry says the competent authority certified the contest.

Completed recount: U.S. House, Florida District 27

Status: Unofficial recount result; not yet certified by the state. Authority: Miami-Dade County Canvassing Board.

Miami-Dade County's canvassing board signed a certificate of a second set of unofficial returns for U.S. House District 27, posted as the district's recount report. By Midterm Watch's arithmetic, compared with the county's results page before the recount, Maria Elvira Salazar's total is 9 votes lower and Eliott Rodriguez's 5 votes lower; the leader did not change. The 2026 district lies entirely within Miami-Dade, so these are the district's figures. The Florida Elections Canvassing Commission certifies federal contests separately.

U.S. House, Florida District 27 (U.S. House race page)

Candidates
Maria Elvira Salazar (R); Eliott Rodriguez (D)
Scope
Full District 27 contest; the 2026 district lies entirely within Miami-Dade
Before
Salazar 124,528; Rodriguez 123,438 (247,966 votes)
After
Salazar 124,519; Rodriguez 123,433 (247,952 votes)
Change
Salazar −9; Rodriguez −5; margin 1,090 → 1,086 (all Midterm Watch arithmetic)
  • The earlier figures come from Midterm Watch's own capture of the county's results page at 17:13 UTC on November 10 (the page was last updated November 7); the page now links the certificate instead of showing them.
  • Under s. 102.166(1), Florida Statutes, a manual recount must be ordered when the second set of unofficial returns shows a margin of one-quarter of a percent or less; Midterm Watch's arithmetic from the certificate gives about 0.44%.
  • Two board signatures are dated 11/10/2026; a third handwritten date is hard to read.
  • No state certification of this contest is cited; under s. 102.111, Florida Statutes, the Elections Canvassing Commission certifies federal returns on the 14th day after a general election.
