5. Today's update...more of the same confusion.
Just jumbled filing.

http://www.nbc6.net/news/17456929/detail.html

"Jumbled filing may explain how nearly 3,500 ballots appeared to go missing in acontested Palm Beach County judicial race.

Assistant county administrator Brad Merriman said Thursday that as workers sorted through ballots and organized them by precinct, they saw that ballots from various precincts had been mixed together. That hampered previous attempts to reconcile discrepancies in the ballot counts.

Candidate William Abramson was ahead 17 votes on election night. During a recount, 3,500 ballots were missing and the incumbent candidate, Circuit Judge Richard Wennet, was ahead by 60 votes.

The new results are expected to be released Friday.

Abramson has filed a lawsuit and a Tallahassee judge is set to take up the case on Saturday."
