Dem Moskowitz Wins Redrawn South Florida Seat

Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz held his redrawn South Florida seat, beating Republican Scott Singer, a former Boca Raton mayor, 51.5% to 46.4%. The Associated Press called it at 8:07 p.m., which gave the Beltway geniuses just enough time to start explaining the map. Moskowitz raised over $5 million to Singer's nearly $3 million, per the FEC, and in politics the money tends to vote before the voters do. The redrawn seat runs along the coast from Boca Raton to Miami Beach, which is a long stretch of sand for a map to defend. Trump carried the state by nearly 10 points in 2024, so the redraw was supposed to add a Republican seat, and the experts are baffled. The rest of us did the math. Washington loves a map that looks clever on paper, right up until the voters get a pencil.
