What are the certified final vote totals and percentages from the Tarrant County elections office for Texas Senate District 9?

1. The headline numbers reported across local media

Multiple local and national outlets reported essentially the same vote totals and percentages: CBS Texas published that Rehmet captured 54,267 votes (about 57%) to Wambsganss’s 40,598 votes (about 43%), describing that as complete returns in their reporting ^[1]. The Fort Worth Star‑Telegram and other local analyses quoted a 57.2%–42.8% split — a 14.4‑point margin favoring Rehmet — which aligns with the rounding shown in wider coverage ^{[2] [3]}. Several outlets summarized the outcome as “about 57%” for Rehmet, reflecting consistent tallies across reporting ^{[5] [6] [7]}.

2. What the Tarrant County elections materials show and what they do not

The Tarrant County Elections Department’s special election page and archives are cited for the event timeline and reporting cadence, including the release schedule for results reports, but the provided Tarrant County page excerpts do not include a reproduced, explicitly labeled “certified final” SD‑9 vote total in the supplied snippets ^[4]. The county’s general elections pages outline procedures, result reporting windows and tools such as the Ballot Verifier, but the supplied extracts do not show a published certified final PDF or statement with the exact precinct‑level certified totals for SD‑9 included here ^{[8] [9]}.

3. Reconciling “complete,” “unofficial” and “certified” language

Reporting from CBS, Star‑Telegram, Axios and others repeatedly used terms such as “complete but unofficial returns,” “unofficial results,” or “about 57%” when publishing the vote totals, indicating reporters had full tallies but were careful to distinguish those figures from a formal certification process conducted by election officials ^{[1] [2] [7]}. That distinction matters: media outlets can and did report final tabulations as counted, but the precise legal step of county certification — and an official county‑issued certified document for SD‑9 — is not shown in the provided source excerpts ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

4. How consistent are the figures across outlets and analysts

Independent aggregators, analysts and local papers converged on the same numerical picture: roughly 54,267 votes (57% or 57.2%) for Rehmet and roughly 40,598 votes (43% or 42.8%) for Wambsganss, a margin of about 14.4 percentage points — a result repeatedly described as a Democratic flip in a historically GOP district ^{[1] [2] [3]}. That cross‑source consistency strengthens confidence that the tabulated vote counts reported by media reflect the county’s counted totals even if the explicit “certified final” label from Tarrant County is not present in these excerpts ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

5. Limits of the record provided and the responsible conclusion

The reporting supplied gives clear, consistent vote totals (Rehmet ~54,267 / ~57%; Wambsganss ~40,598 / ~43%) but does not include an image or text from the Tarrant County Elections office explicitly stating “certified final” for those totals in the material provided here ^{[1] [4] [2]}. Therefore the responsible statement is: those are the widely reported final counted totals and percentages from the county’s result reporting as published by local media, but within this packet of sources there is no explicit, separately cited Tarrant County document that the materials label as the certified final statement of results ^{[1] [4] [2]}.
