In GOP controlled Volusia county.......Volusia County, which includes Daytona Beach, began its recount Sunday after a one-day delay. Election officials there struggled to explain the discovery of an additional 100 to 300 ballots in one of its precincts. "We have a problem," said Michael McDermott, chairman of the county canvassing board. Election officials were investigating whether a mechanical or mathematical error led to the extra ballot count, he said. The board hoped to finish the count by 10 p.m. Monday...............................................................Bush Gains 33 Votes Net So Far in Florida Recount (Update2) By Stephen Cohen Deland, Florida, Nov. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Election officials in Volusia County, Florida, said the Republican presidential candidate, George W. Bush, gained a net 33 votes in the first day of recounting ballots. The county is working against a Tuesday deadline for certifying its ballot count and had hand-counted 58 of 172 precincts, officials said. At first, the tally showed Democrat Al Gore gained a net 19 votes in 57 precincts. Later, another precinct said an apparent machine failure meant 320 ballots were excluded. They were hand counted and Bush picked up 52 votes. ``It's these inconsistencies that are the reason we're doing this hand count,'' said Jack Young, one of the Democratic observers of the process. ``This is a fluid process.''
