Republican governor Rick Scott will win reelection in a tough race against Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, the Associated Press is projecting. Scott was seen as one of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents, as polls in Florida showed the race tied or Crist slightly ahead throughout the last month.

The AP projects Scott will win with 49 percent of the vote to Crist’s 47 percent.
