West is ahead in two of the three counties in that district but the third county gives Murphy enough votes to still be ahead.

County.........Allen B. West (REP).....Patrick Murphy (DEM)
Martin...............43,330.......................32,527
Palm Beach........68,314.......................68,129
St. Lucie.............52,672......................65,567
