The story
Mario Díaz-Balart declared victory in District 26 with a 1,772-vote lead, 0.77%, above the 0.5% that forces a recount, but Democrat Nicole Locklin has not conceded: «This race isn't over», she wrote on X, according to WLRN.
The Cuban-American congressman said 3,000 votes were «suddenly and unilaterally» added to his rival's total, and Miami-Dade elections supervisor Alina García said «more than likely there will be no change». Counties send official returns to the State on November 16.
