November 10, 2012 Dragging into the fourth day of vote counting after Election Day, Palm Beach County at 4:45 a.m. Saturday finally finished tallying delayed results from thousands of absentee and provisional ballots.
Slowed by the tedious process of counting stacks of absentee ballots marred by printing errors, the county's bleary-eyed election staffers and canvassing board worked through the night Friday and by early Saturday finished what most of the rest of the country wrapped up days ago.
It appears that Palm Beach had more problems than St Lucie.
