Glitches delay start of Florida recount for senator, governor

[Breitbart] Nov. 11 (UPI) — Florida’s statewide recount began Sunday morning after a three-hour delay amid a series of technical glitches with Broward County’s counting machines, elections officials said.

One machine failed to register all ballots during a testing period, causing the delay, the South Florida Sun Sentinel newspaper reported.

Two counting machines that were expected to be delivered to Orlando for the recount were diverted to Broward County to assist with process there.

On Saturday, Florida’s secretary of state officially ordered machine recounts in three statewide elections — U.S. senator, governor and agriculture commissioner. Results in each race were within a half-percentage point, the threshold for triggering a machine recount.

County election officials were expected to report the results of the machine recount by 3 p.m. Thursday. If the results are within 0.25 percent, the state will order a hand recount to completed by noon Nov. 18.  more here
