Voters head to polls in race for Wexler's seat
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Voters are set to decide who will replace former U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, who resigned in January to lead a Middle East think tank.

Polls opened Tuesday morning across Palm Beach and Broward counties for the special election in District 19.

Democratic state Sen. Ted Deutch, who has Wexler's endorsement, faces GOP challenger Ed Lynch.

The 44-year-old contractor says he hopes to make the election a referendum on President Barack Obama's massive health care bill in a district where seniors make up about 40 percent of the electorate.

Lynch says they're dissatisfied with the bill, but Deutch says it brings immediate relief.
