    The Associated Press projects that Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick will win the special election for Florida's 20th Congressional district, giving Democrats a slight boost in their majority.

SNIP Jason Mariner, an advertising executive and ex-felon, was the Republican candidate in a district that is considered one of the most Democratic in Florida.
