- Certification Deadline Passes With Murphy Leading West by Over 1900 votes -
Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – The Murphy for Congress campaign released the following statement regarding the mandated noon certification of the 18th Congressional race by the county canvassing boards:
“Today at noon, it became clear Patrick Murphy will be officially certified as the next Congressman from the 18th Congressional District,” said Murphy for Congressman campaign manager Anthony Kusich. “The voters have spoken and Patrick Murphy is once again the clear winner. It is beyond time to put this campaign behind us and put the interests of the people of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches first.”
Florida law is very clear that Murphy’s win will now be certified. The law specifically states: “If the returns are not received by the department by the time specified, such returns shall be ignored and the results on file at that time shall be certified by the department.”
We expect the Department of State to thus certify the election and confirm what the voters of the 18th District have said loudly and clearly.
