This does not restore my trust at all. So many questions. Who had access in the meanwhile...why were they there in the first place?
Too many questions, not enough answers at all.

Palm Beach County's missing ballot mystery is solved.
Investigators searching for nearly 3,500 missing ballots from the Aug. 26 election say they have located a "substantial number"— and perhaps nearly all — of the unaccounted-for ballots.
Despite rumors, the ballots hadn't been mistakenly dumped in a landfill or left behind at voting precincts. Rather, they were found in the county's vote-tabulating center near West Palm Beach.
"The ballots were found in this room, not in garbage bags, not in the trunks of cars," lead investigator Brad Merriman, an assistant county administrator, told reporters Thursday.
More about it.
Many of the ballots, investigators said, were found amid batches of ballots that were in boxes containing so-called "undervotes" and "overvotes" in a disputed, razor-close judicial race. Those ballots were rejected as unreadable by machines because voters had either voted for both candidates in that race, neither candidate, or had scribbled on the ballot in a way that made it difficult for the vote to be deciphered.
Why these ballots were not recounted or found sooner remains unclear, and subject to the ongoing county investigation.
I say this is just not enough. Too many things don't add up.
Florida needs to get its act together.
