On election night I was monitoring Drudge, which had a running count of the Florida presidential vote. Romney was leading. All of sudden, following an update, about 35,000 votes were removed from the Romney total. Anybody else see this?
I didn’t see that. Maybe it is related to the shenanigans in St. Lucie County somehow.

Walker said the ballots in question were from a group of more than 37,000 early votes cast in the race. Most of the early ballots were counted shortly after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Walker said. But she said some of the ballots were on memory cards that could not initially be uploaded onto tabulating machines. Those ballots were counted later in the evening, she said.
“I don’t have any problem recounting ballots,” said Walker, but she said she’ll have to wait for a judge’s ruling. “If it was my decision, I’d say, ‘Hey, when?’ because I have no problem. But we have to follow the law and the law does not give the (canvassing) board discretion to make a decision to recount.”

And now she’s decided that she will recount those ballots again tomorrow (see post #9) after claiming she has no such authority to do so without a court order. This is the SECOND time she will have recounted the early ballots. The first recount flipped the election by 4,000 votes and gave it to Murphy. Neither time has there been a court order.
