Nearly 3,000 votes effectively disappeared during the machine recount of Floridas midterm races, according to election records, calling into question whether officials relied on a flawed process to settle the outcome of three statewide contests.
With extremely narrow gaps separating candidates in the still-undeclared races for both governor and United States Senate, the results of the machine recount of all votes cast in the Nov. 6 election, posted by the Florida secretary of states office, showed 900 fewer votes than those reported in the original statewide tally.
The discrepancy was expected to grow by an additional 2,000 votes when updated numbers from Broward County, whose results initially were disqualified because they came in two minutes late, are added to the statewide results on Sunday.
None of the discrepancies would be enough to affect the outcome of the three statewide and three local elections that are still waiting for a winner to be called. But they come as at least three Florida counties two of them Democratic strongholds whose results could be decisive have reported problems counting their shares of the more than 8.1 million ballots cast across the state.
In one of the most serious cases, Palm Beach County found dozens of precincts missing a significant number of votes during the machine recount, according to the supervisor of elections, Susan Bucher, causing the county to conclude that entire boxes of ballots may not have been counted.

No, I don’t. Saw a few on the news. Not all are the same. Typical medium-speed automatic equipment. Maybe 60/min feed rates. Some probably 2 or 3x that. It’s up to each county which equipment they use. Should all be standardized.
Easy to see how sticking a paperclip into the feed path would jam them. Guy should have been immediately arrested.
Or...perhaps, they were unable to duplicate exactly the individual frauds they perpetrated on the first count?
Just sayin’...
Im sick of this, EXCLUDE ALL BALLOTS FOR BROWARD COUNTY PERIOD! Hold those responsible and prosecute. There is an original deadline 30 minutes after the poles close, end of story!
There are probably still a few old school civil libertarians in San Fran.
Bill Kunstler? or, Ron Kuby?
DEMOCRATS ARE CHEATERS and VOTE FRAUD SPECIALISTS!
So, votes missing from election night counts are a problem, but additional votes from election night are not a problem?
Its unsubstantiated cheating. So, like, it never happened.
Unfortunately for Dems South FL still splits 60-40.
Not solid Blue counties, Yet.
They use every trick in the book. Most of the time everyone concerned about fraud is looking for votes ADDED or CHANGED. But it’s so much easier for someone with a good sleight of hand to make ballots they don’t like simply disappear. When the numbers are off by this much I can guarantee that’s what’s going on. Look for the guy who took a lot of restroom breaks.
Wrong poster.
“What stops them from re-running a stack ballots through the machine again?”
supposing those 5,000 ballots didn’t exist in the first, fake count, they’d be really hard to run through the machine counters during the recount or even subsequently ...
Didn’t you post “out of San Fran’ey?” Maybe I misunderstood your post.
Sorry,
My mistake.
I. Think I see what I did.
It looked like you attributed a line to me but I think it was actually your own line?
Anyhow, I still hope Cali (SF) can be saved some day.
It might take 100 years?
My second sentence was an homage to The Big Lebowski.
