Steve, Here is a summary: washingtonpost.com In Palm Beach County, officials halted the hand counting after an order from Harris's office early in the day, then agreed after an outdoor meeting late in the day to come back today and begin counting all 430,000 ballots manually. Palm Beach officials also decided to join an appeal to the ruling leaving it to Harris's discretion whether to accept a corrected county vote total based on hand-counted ballots. In Miami-Dade County, a three-member canvassing board handed the Democrats a significant setback tonight by voting 2 to 1 to deny their lawyers' request that all ballots cast in Dade County in the presidential election be manually recounted or that the 10,750 so-called undercounted votes be tallied by hand. officials decided to start hand counting ballots today in three selected precincts as a prelude to a decision about whether to recount all the ballots by hand in the county's 614 precincts. The three precincts are heavily Democratic and after the manual recount, Gore had picked up six votes. Bush officials protested that Miami-Dade officials set no uniform standards for hand counting the ballots. In Broward County, officials planned to meet again today to decide whether to go ahead with hand counting of all ballots after an initial decision to forgo such a step. The events in Broward caused confusion throughout the day, as Democrats challenged in court the decision of county officials not to hand count all the ballots, modified their request and eventually won a ruling that still left the decision to local officials' discretion. In Volusia County, officials completed its manual recount by the deadline. But officials nonetheless went ahead with a planned appeal of Lewis's ruling. Joe
