Some 50,000 or more absentee ballots that could make a difference in who wins a close election in Florida will not be counted until Thursday, election officials there say.
Election workers in Miami-Dade County apparently have been overwhelmed by the task of counting from 80,000 to 95,000 absentee ballots. The Miami-Dade County elections supervisor, Constance Kaplan, could promise Tuesday evening only that the ballots will be counted by noon Thursday.
