Miami-Dade had 10,750, Palm Beach had 10,582 and Broward had 6,686. But election officials say half those ballots show no signs of effort to vote for a new president. Broward County election officials agreed Wednesday to sacrifice part of their Thanksgiving holiday to finish a hand recount before the state Supreme Court deadline. Broward County appeared to be the first of the three counties to complete the process as workers finished recounting all 588,000 ballots from 609 precincts and most of the absentee ballots. The three-member canvassing commission will reconvene at 9 a.m Thursday to continue going through the remaining absentee and questionable ballots.
Republicans continue to object to counting ambiguous ballots.
That's not the way we should be choosing a president. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
