Welcome to

There were few problems this election in the grand scheme of things. 37-thousand Hillsborough County early ballots had to be rescanned, but that was handled fairly quickly. Results were slow coming out of Palm Beach County, but that has became par for the course. One reason Palm Beach is slow in reporting results is because there are no modems in the scanning machines and voter data from all the precincts have to be driven back to the courthouse before they can be tallied. Division of Elections Spokeswoman Jennifer Davis says

“It usually takes them a little bit more time because they have to physically bring the machines back to the supervisors office, but they processing. They got all their precincts done last night,” said Davis.

The Division of Elections is also praising a recent law reinstating paper ballots. They say the re-scan in Hillsborough would have been impossible without a paper trail.
