<<Overlooked ballot box found in Florida church e November 8, 2000 Web posted at: 1:18 p.m. EST (1818 GMT) MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- With the outcome of the neck-and-neck presidential race hinging on the outcome of a recount in Florida, there may be a few more votes to consider. The director of a church preschool said she discovered a padlocked ballot box at the church hall Wednesday morning. Officials with the Miami-Dade County elections office were said to be on the way to retrieve the box, which was apparently left behind by precinct workers. "It's a very interesting scenario," pastor Nebel Buchanan told CNN. GOP presidential candidate Texas Gov. George W. Bush holds a 1,784-vote lead over Democratic candidate Vice President Al Gore in Florida. Because the lead is so narrow, Florida law mandates a recount -- which election officials say must be completed by the end of the business day on Thursday. Preschool director Tatleen Francis told CNN she discovered the ballot box shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday when she arrived at work. >> Read it and weep kids. Just like ballot box no. 13 for "Landslide" Lyndon Johnson. For those of you not familiar with the nuances of Texas history, ballet box no. 13 was the "missing" ballot box discovered in Duval County, Texas that put LBJ into his first US Senate seat. The circumstances surrounding this discovery were, to say the least, rather dubious.
