I think the 140% number- and that whole list is a red herring. My guess is it accounts for the number of ballot cards fed into the machine which is different in each County. My ballot was 4 pages long (2 cards) Dade was 12 pages. Looks like St. Lucie was also 4 pages- 2 cards per voter.

In our 67 counties, all but 2 of the Supervisors of Election are elected officials. Dade and Volusia have appointed supervisors who answer to the Mayor or County Commission. But they all have to follow the extensive laws for reporting and list maintenance, ballot procedures etc.

And for all the jokes about Flori-duh- every county has a paper trail for every vote, and 64 of the Counties managed to conduct elections without serious difficulty. Despite the Democrats deliberately flooding the polls with idiots who took forever to vote, and complained non-stop.

I wish the Peoples Republic of Dade-Broward-Palm Beach would secede and become the 51st state. The rest of us are sick of their incompetence.

Sounds like the explanation, but when asked by an nbc affiliate about the outrageous returns... she had no idea of WHY? Just the kind of election chiefs we all need, the on-the-ball type.

We have 3 Dem big counties which screw this state up plus come election time it is always those 3 counties which make the state look stupid.

wish those 3 counties would just leave us alone and leave the state
