Seminole County updates vote count in tight Congress race

The race for Congress in Florida's 7th District remains contested, with Republican Ryan Elijah's campaign signaling confidence he will emerge victorious. The Seminole County Elections Office updated its totals Nov. 4 in the contest between Elijah and Democrat Bale Dalton. The latest count showed the race tightening, but not enough to trigger a recount. The totals from Seminole and Volusia counties have Elijah up by 1,701 votes out of more than 320,000 ballots cast. "While our elections officials complete their important work, we are confident Ryan has secured the votes needed to win," Erin Isaac, a campaign spokeswoman, said in a text to The Daytona Beach News-Journal. "We will continue to watch closely, but there simply aren't enough ballots to change the outcome." Dalton's campaign released a statement taking issue with Isaac's statement. “This race remains too close to call, and it is incumbent on all of us not to pretend otherwise until all ballots are counted. We have not received verified information from either Seminole or Volusia County’s Supervisor of Elections Office on the number of outstanding ballots," Dalton said in the statement. “Every single Central Floridian deserves to have their voice heard," he said. "Having voted while deployed

David Markle unseats longtime hospital authority board incumbent

The West Volusia Hospital Authority Board will see a new face for the first time in 13 years. Voters chose to elect newcomer and registered nurse David Markle, who criticized some of the board’s recent decisions, to its Group B, Seat 2 position Nov. 3 on Election Day. He beat out four-term incumbent Voloria Manning, who has been on the board since 2013 and was running for her fifth term. Markle beat Manning by about 5,800 votes, or about 7.5%. Almost 80,000 people voted in the race. What is the Hospital Authority Board? The hospital authority, which is an independent special taxing district with five commission members, was created by the Florida Legislature to provide health care access to thousands of low-income and vulnerable residents across West Volusia. That includes cities like DeBary, DeLand, Pierson, Orange City and Deltona. Commissioners are elected to four-year terms and are not paid. ▶ Results from other races: Congressional House and Senate races Registered Nurse David Markle elected to the West Volusia Hospital Authority Board after Amendment 3 concerns Because the board relies on property tax revenue to fund health care access, the West Volusia Hospital Authority Board was at risk of losing millions

3,000 Flagler County Residents Lost Food Stamps in Past Year. Food-A-Thon Hopes to Raise $100,000 to Help.

Flagler Radio on Nov. 13 hosts its fifth annual Food-A-Thon with a five-hour broadcast on four local radio stations to raise $100,000 for a local food pantry. It is doing so in a landscape changed for the worse for those who need food assistance most, and at the end of a year when federal food assistance was suspended for weeks due to a government shutdown and state government’s refusal to step in and fill in the gap (though county government did to some extent).

Flagler County’s Old Brick Road Outlasted Its Highway

A modern highway asks you to forget the surface underneath. Flagler County has a road that does the opposite: it makes the pavement the destination. The Old Brick Road, associated with the historic Dixie Highway near Espanola, is narrow, red and deeply out of scale with today’s habit of building several lanes for every movement. The Flagler County Historical Society documents it as part of Florida’s earlier effort to make travel by automobile dependable rather than an argument with sand and mud.

Rising St. Johns River the latest threat from historic Central Florida flooding

Volusia County did not experience the rainfall that hit Brevard County and other areas to the south. Because the St. Johns River flows north, however, county officials say much of that water will eventually make its way into Volusia, potentially spilling into roadways and onto private properties. The county is urging anyone living near the river to fill sandbags and stock up on several days’ worth of household supplies. Near Lake Beresford in DeLand — which is connected to the St. Johns River — water has already crept well beyond its normal shoreline onto nearby properties. Volusia County officials say the impact will be felt most toward the end of the week, and they are urging residents to begin making preparations now.
