Nov 17, 2000 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Judge: Fla. Can Reject Late Votes

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida judge said today the state does not have to
accept hand counted presidential votes tallied after the deadline imposed by a
Republican election official. Al Gore hopes the ongoing counts will turn up
enough votes to overturn George W. Bush's 300-vote lead in Florida. Gore was
expected to appeal.

Palm Beach Officials Resume Hand Recount

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Election workers today resumed the process of hand
counting 462,350 ballots as requested by Al Gore's campaign. Palm Beach County
has been at the center of the election dispute in part because critics said the
design of its punch ballot was confusing. A hearing is scheduled for later
Friday in Palm Beach Circuit Court on the issue of the ballot and the legality
of a revote. Circuit Judge Jorge Labarga said he wanted to hear constitutional
arguments about whether a second vote could even be a legal option. Bush has a
300-vote lead over Gore in Florida.
