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.
Hundreds of volunteers spent most of Friday sorting through 32,000 overvotes and undervotes in the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Broward officials announced Friday night they had finished their manual recount.
On Saturday, the volunteers started sorting about 22,000 undervotes and overvotes in the contentious contest for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture.
That came to a grinding halt when lawyers found thousands of overlapping ballots which clearly showed a vote in the agriculture race but were fuzzy in the Senate race.

“It appears there may have been some ballots from yesterday mixed in with the ones for today,” Broward Canvassing Board Judge Deborah Carpenter-Toye told reporters.

Broward’s results from Election Night will stand until manual recount totals come in Sunday at noon.
Scott’s campaign charged that Snipes intentionally submitted late results so that they would be invalidated. In the recount, Nelson, lost more votes than Scott -- meaning Scott would have seen a net gain of 779 votes if Snipes hadn't been late.

What do you expect out of our public school system? Accurate counting????? Common sense? Guess again.
“Scott’s campaign charged that Snipes intentionally submitted late results so that they would be invalidated.”
Really? Ya think?

Just by accident, I’m sure.
How would it be a bad thing, if we stopped allowing Democrat majority counties to participate in our elections?

“It appears there may have been some ballots from yesterday mixed in with the ones for today,” Broward Canvassing Board Judge Deborah Carpenter-Toye told reporters. “
It sounds to me like the democrats just found a way to mix in more democrat ballots. The whole process in Broward is hopelessly spoiled and all the votes there should be thrown out.
Imagine those “some ballots” didn’t include any with votes for a Republican candidate.
These Florida counties need more professional election officials - someone like Saul Alinsky.
Its not stupid. It is slight of hand. Hocus pocus.
Or maybe they gain Republican votes, like the ones that were “two minutes late”.
I’m sure Brenda Snipes has helped to hire others just like her.
Broward county ended up with the pallet of ballots that were supposed to go to Dade.
And 60% of Broward residents are just fine with Brenda Snipes.
Think about it. Same with Sheriff Israel.

The only way to ensure legitimate election results is for Conservatives Only to run voting locations and vote counting
What box are we at now?
can we just saw Florida off and let it float to Communist Cuba? It (or at least its elections officers) would be soooo much more at home there...
Well Broward County is mostly dems so it’s not like they have the cream of the crop there.
It’s amazing. So, the definition of a progressive county is one that cannot count. This is the sum of the entire Democrat party, as demonstrated by Broward County
This has to be true. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
