FYI ... Florida elections worker was spotted leaving with two bags - Volusia County elections office locked, under guard .... Volusia County elections office locked, under guard Compiled from Staff reports [Posted 11/08/2000 11:13 AM EST] DELAND - The Volusia County elections office was locked and put under guard Wednesday until the county’s canvassing board can meet to recount ballots. One of the reasons given for the lockdown was an incident early Wednesday morning in which an elections office was spotted leaving with two bags. The employee later was stopped and searched by deputies who suspected the bags might contain ballots. Deputies turned up only personal items and a single blank sample ballot but said it was one of the reasons why the elections office is locked down this morning. There was crime scene tape around the office and several deputies were posted outside. In addition, officials with the Republican Party - some of whom would not identify themselves - were outside the elections office Wednesday morning trying to find out what was happening with the recount. The employee, whose name was not immediately known, was spotted leaving the elections office in DeLand about 4 a.m. The Sheriff's Office put out an alert to patrol deputies, who stopped her at the intersection of International Speedway Boulevard near LPGA Boulevard in Daytona Beach. She was taken back to elections office in DeLand and her bags were searched. The canvassing board is scheduled to meet at 1 p.m. today to begin recounting ballots. It was unclear Wednesday morning whether the recount would involve just the ballots in the presidential race or other races as well.
