Fort Lauderdale: Wasserman Schultz Win and Election Day

Democratic United States Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz won election to represent Florida's newly redrawn 20th Congressional District, defeating Republican businessman Brent Andersen. The report from Fort Lauderdale says those results are unofficial until they are certified. And elsewhere, CBS News projects Oliver Gilbert III has won Florida's 24th Congressional District, succeeding Representative Frederica Wilson. The district spans northern Miami Dade and southern Broward counties. In Margate, Antonio V. Arserio and Nina Culver won seats on the City Commission. Those results remain unofficial. In other local news, Broward County says polls are open today from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening and mail ballots must be hand delivered by seven. Press conferences begin today at 11 in the morning and at 2 in the afternoon.
