Miami-Dade Official: Vote Stopped Due to
Lack of Time, Not Protests

CORRESPONDENT FRANK BUCKLEY: I wanted to ask you, first of all, sir, some
people are suggesting that you and other members of the canvassing board were
in some way intimidated by the protests that took place on Wednesday. To what
extent were you influenced by those protests?

DAVID LEAHY [MIAMI-DADE CANVASSING BOARD]: I was not intimidated. My
vote to suspend the hand tally of the votes in Miami-Dade County had nothing to
do with the protests. It simply had to do with not enough time or logistical support
to complete the hand recount by the deadline set by the state Supreme Court.
