Election results and payment disputes reported in US midterms

In Orange County, California, several incumbent Republican state legislators are facing defeat in the 2026 midterm elections. Republican Senator Tony Strickland conceded his race against Democrat Chris Duncan, noting that the vote counts did not favor his re-election. This shift follows Strickland’s significant victory in the previous election cycle.

In Broward County, Florida, temporary poll workers have reported delays and partial payments following the conclusion of the midterm election process. Some workers claim they are still owed significant sums for their hours of service. Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott attributed the delays to new payment procedures implemented this year to tighten identification requirements and ensure accurate distribution.
