GOP: MIAMI-DADE IN
COUNTYWIDE RECOUNT -
BROWARD SHOULD BE NEXT
TALLAHASSEE - Miami-Dade elections officials began a countywide recount at
1:00 p.m. today, due to yesterday's review of just four precincts, which
revealed over 1,800 votes that had not been counted.
Given the massive and well-documented problems in Broward County, which
utilized the same new electronic voting machines as in Miami-Dade, the
Broward County Supervisor of Elections should IMMEDIATELY begin a recount of
all their precincts, machines and tabulators, to make certain every legal
vote is counted. Based on a troubling recent report that three voting
machines were found THIS MORNING still at a polling place in Fort
Lauderdale, the only prudent action is a full recount in Broward.
The Republican Party of Florida demands an immediate recount in Broward -
forming an election oversight board is not enough - only by counting every
legal vote in this election can amends begin to be made to the betrayed
voters in Broward County.
