Not a clerk; not in Florida. A county canvassing board reviews the provisional ballot and makes the call.
The canvassing board is chaired by a county judge; the supervisor of election; and the chair of the county commission.
In Broward County, we now know, these people are not reliable.
So if you had 5,000 provisional ballots come up and this ‘board’ has to reach some conclusion....wouldn’t this take at least a year to validate each and every ballot? I don’t see how you could validate these unless you just skipped the validating process and mostly just rubber-stamped them...?
