Democratic Rep.-elect Daryl Campbell won a four-way Primary Election on Jan. 11 to succeed outgoing Rep. Bobby DuBose in Broward County’s House District 94. Since no other parties fielded qualifying candidates in the district that covers parts of Fort Lauderdale, Plantation and Wilton Manors, Campbell is the de facto winner of the General Election, which was scheduled for March 8.
Campbell said that conversations with Republican Speaker Chris Sprowls’ office and his Democratic colleagues have led him to believe he will be sworn in this week — although he hasn’t received the schedule for it yet.
Campbell won slightly more than 40 percent of the vote in a universal primary and Broward County’s Supervisor of Election Joe Scott pushed for Campbell to be seated immediately. But the Democratic leadership in the House believed initially, after the election, that the Secretary of State’s Office would not certify Campbell’s victory until after the scheduled General Election on March 8, as has happened in the past.
The Secretary of State’s communications office said that Campbell’s Primary win will be certified on Tuesday. But spokeswoman Mallory Morgan has not given a definitive answer to a Jan. 13 question from Florida Politics on whether the Primary Election’s result certification will be enough to mean that Campbell gets a seat in the current Session.
On Thursday, Morgan wrote: “Our office is working on your request. Thank you for your patience.”

So in the GOP's eyes, the results of an election don't matter as long as the party can dictate who is declared the winner.

If you’re truly “conservative “ and support the US Constitution, what arguments do you have for NOT using every resource we have, including legislation, to guarantee that every citizen’s rights are equally protected?
If you believe that this is the case already, then I’m gonna go with “willfully oblivious “ and guess that you’re probably enjoying all the energy and time that dozens of well-meaning people are fruitlessly expending here.
DP. Do you not understand that every illegal vote negates my vote?
And, yes, mail-in votes are the easiest way to have voter fraud. And, yes, there is evidence of voter fraud--but it is hard to prove. There are convictions of it on record and you are incredibly naive if you think there are not.
There is far more evidence of fraud than there is of voters being turned away.

Also this.
