A mixup of laws between govern
mcnt and state has puzzled Secre-
tary of State Ramer as to when to be
gin the official state count The fed
eral law says the count Of the vote
for electors must begin not later than
the last calendar day Of November,
and the state law says not sooner than
25 days after the election, which
would be Saturday. Just to make sure
he began the count today and it will
be several days before it can be COM
pleted as all counties are not yet in.
