LAUDERHILL, Fla. (WSVN) -- Nearly a thousand ballots that were not included in Florida's final count have been found in a warehouse in Broward County.

Tuesday morning and into the night, there was a buzz of activity at the Voting Equipment Center in Lauderhill, a week after the general election. There was a recount going on for two commission seats that were too close to call, one in Hallandale Beach and another in Dania Beach. Workers had to count those votes manually.

Also keeping elections officials busy is the fact that 963 filled ballots were found in a warehouse. The supervisor of elections, Dr. Brenda Snipes, said this happens all the time, especially when dealing with paper ballots. Her department is not the only one to have seen more ballots added to the final number after the election, and they have until Nov. 18 to certify all the votes.

Snipes noted that it is a routine thing to look for these kind of mishaps after election night and she is just glad that they are now being tallied into that final count.

Last Tuesday, close to 800,000 people voted in Broward County, some waited in lines for four to five and sometimes six hours. Many have said the news of these ballots add to their uneasiness about how the election was run. Florida was the last state to officially announce its election results, long after President Obama was officially announced as re-elected.

Snipes said there is no reason for alarm. "I've run several elections here, and this election was run no different than any other," she said. "I think the difference with this election is that there was a close race between the two presidential candidates, and there was pressure put on everyone, including our office, to get all of the votes, count, count, count, so you don't have an opportunity to check every box that comes back because you got to get what you got in hand and get it out of there, so if the voters would rather that we kind of sit back and relax and then clean up and find ballots. Then I think they would really be very upset."

She said that further complicating this election was a very long ballot filled with proposed amendments. Snipes has promised that her department will meet their deadline by Sunday.

Since the Dems know which precints vote Democrat and which vote Republican, they can easily hide away the ballots from a Republican voting precinct. The Democrats had 4 years to coordinate their vote cheating efforts, no doubt they pulled out all the stops to suppress Republican votes (such as sharply reducing the military vote) and *enhancing* the Democrat vote.

If they get away with it this time they will continue to cheat in every election.

Even people who do not speak English and cannot read, can easily identify a “D” and simply follow the “D” all the way down the ballot.

the left have been doing fraud for years but since 2000 they have gone full blown, this election they looked at their Dem counties in swing states knwing that Dems were in charge of the votes and then stole this election.

Since the GOP has done nothing, totally nothing then the left knows now that they will always get away with this and that our side in the future , even on here many will just forget about this and repeat the old tired matra of move on, we did not get enough votes, lets reach out.
Infact I;ve already seen it today off some freepers who refuse to understand what has happened and ignore this corruption.

The left knows our side are cowards to the media, to the left and they understand that our elitist idiots up in the north east and DC will only fight when their own power is threatened by the lieks of Sarah, Newt, Col Allen west
