Overseas Absentee Ballots Could Still Affect Outcome

MIAMI, Updated 12:30 p.m. EST November 10, 2000 -- South Florida newspapers are reporting an even higher number of outstanding absentee ballots than originally expected.

The Palm Beach Post checked with elections officials in 52 counties Thursday and reported that there are at least 7,479 votes still not counted out of more than 15-thousand issued overseas. That number does not include large counties like Broward and Pinellas, or counties like St. Johns that are home to large numbers of Navy personnel.

Historically, military votes tend to be largely Republican, but analysts warn that it's not known how many might be from minorities and women, who tend to vote Democratic.

Many election supervisors say they won't touch the absentee ballot votes until November 17.
