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

Three Florida cities among Orkin's 'rattiest cities in 2026' ranking

Several Florida cities have earned a spot on a list they probably won’t be bragging about. Three major Florida cities all made Orkin’s 2026 ranking of the 50 “rattiest” cities in the U.S., based on new residential rodent treatments recorded between Aug. 9, 2025, and Aug. 9, 2026. "There’s no single type of city or climate that’s immune to rodent pressure," said Dr. Shannon Sked, National Technical Director at Orkin, in the study. "Rats and mice are highly adaptable and can thrive in communities across the country wherever they can find food, water and shelter." Here's where Florida ranks among the "rattiest cities" in the U.S. for 2026. Where did Florida cities rank in Orkin's list of the rattiest cities? Tampa, Miami and Orlando are among Orkin’s 50 “rattiest” cities for 2026, a ranking based on the company’s residential rodent treatment data. Tampa - 22 Miami - 26 Orlando - 32 What city has the most rats in the U.S.? Los Angeles still holds the title of "rattiest city" for the second year in a row. "Los Angeles’ year-round mild weather, dense neighborhoods and abundant access to food, water and shelter create conditions where rats and mice can thrive," Orkin

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
