This resolution dismisses a formal election challenge that had been filed on November 17, 2024, against the results of the 2024 election for Florida's 14th Congressional District. The House of Representatives ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the case, because federal law only lets the House review contested general and special elections for Representative, not primary elections or party caucuses and conventions. Under the Federal Contested Election Act, only general or special elections fall within the House's authority to resolve. As a result, the challenge to the Florida 14th District primary process is dismissed without a hearing on its merits, leaving the district's certified election result unchanged.
