Florida's top election official*** warned the state's counties and the presidential candidates Saturday against prolonging the recount, saying the system is about to "melt down."

Bob Crawford, who replaced Gov. Jeb Bush as commissioner of Florida's Canvassing Commission, said Saturday that if a county misses the state's deadline for certifying results, the entire county's vote will be thrown out.
Crawford Comments ..

"The statute is very clear that if a county's results are not to us by 5 p.m. Tuesday we shall ignore that county's vote, and the counties need to be very aware of that," Crawford told reporters. "Candidates asking for recounts need to be aware of that."

Crawford also stressed that he believed the system is being pressed to its limits.

Assuming the above is a true interpretation of
Florida Election Law .. then it appears we are
still on schedule for an official final certification
of the election by next Friday/Saturday .. Bush
would get the nod if any of the 3 South Florida
counties have not 'certified' their results to
Talahassee by the deadline .. a hand count of
+400,000 could cause the county to miss the Tuesday
dead-line based upon how long it took to count/evaluate
the sample precincts just completed ..
