More ballots turn up in Broward (FL)

Seven days after the election ended, and two days after the results were unofficially certified, Broward elections workers Monday said they had found 963 unaccounted-for ballots in a warehouse.

They were put in the wrong place, members of the Broward County Canvassing Board were told on Monday.

"How can you lose them? This is terrible,'' said Dania Beach candidate Chickie Brandimarte, whose close race won't be called until at least Tuesday.

Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes said it's customary for more votes to be added to the totals until the Nov. 18 final certification.

"Everybody who's been around for any period of time knows that managing paper is a chore, and you don't count it overnight,'' she said. "What we do, and we've found it beneficial, is to comb the entire plant looking for something that may have been put in the wrong place. It happens. And when we did that, that's when we identified [the additional] votes.''

Can we start a pool to see how the votes break D vs R? I’m betting at least 80-20.

“...managing paper is a chore...”

WHAT? If managing paper (ballots) is such a chore, then find other work and let someone capable handle the paper handling chore. This is simply outrageous.

Perhaps we need to institute the same “chain of custody” guidelines that are use in evidence gathering to manage voting records.

Am I too innocent to think that voting takes place in a room and that those ballots, should never leave the room till counted? And if there are unused ballots, they should be accounted for -— IN that room?

I had always assumed they did. Guess not. Why do we even bother voting? I am disgusted by this whole election and have serious doubts that Obama really won.

These were Obama stash ballots....need a few hundred more, no problem here they are. There are probably ballots stashed all over south florida in car trunks, attics, even in suit cases.

Our elections have become a joke. If we make it another four years, I don’t think I will bother voting next round unless we have a VERY good candidate.

I can’t think of one incident like this in which the county election/precincts weren’t democrats. You don’t see Repub precincts pulling “lost” boxes out of their rear.

Ballots “found” in warehouses should automatically be void. Florida is not capable of running honest elections and should be forbidden to participate in the next three presidential races as punishment. This should happen in every state where fraudulent elections are tolerated.

“Can we start with a requirement for an I.D.?”

Florida has voter ID laws.
