Eight days later. Florida

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - The drama surrounding the Florida election recount is poised to intensify as lawyers return to court ahead of a Thursday deadline to complete the review of two key races that seems increasingly out of reach in a Democratic stronghold.

Much of the trouble centers on Palm Beach County, where tallying machines have overheated. That's caused mismatched results with the recount of 174,000 early voting ballots, forcing workers to go back and redo their work with no time to spare.

A mechanic was flown in to fix the problems, but "we don't have a lot of assurances," Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher told WPTV Tuesday night.

I've never heard of a tallying machine overheating. :dunno:

Hasn’t Florida always been a bit dodgy with the old voting ‘system’?

Voting is handled at the county level. These are the same 2-3 counties that couldn't count in 2000 either.


On another note, Florida is always joked about for having the craziest people and the oddest events.

‘Seems kind of voter fraudish’: Did Florida Dems just get caught in ‘a bona fide scandal’?

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Fresh off its bungled machine recount, Broward County’s second day of manual recounting temporarily stopped about an hour after it began Saturday when lawyers from both political parties pointed out that volunteers were counting the wrong ballots

Apparently Al Gore was leading this recount. :gigglesnshit:

I think they are done now, but don't hold me to this statement. It's hard to keep up with goings on in the Sunshine State.
