CNN....Lewis' ruling appears to throw a wrench in the plans of Palm Beach County, Florida, to count ballots by hand, a process that would take several days -- well past today's deadline. But it does not mean that county canvassing boards cannot submit tallies after the deadline. The ruling says Harris must use "sound discretion" in deciding whether to accept or reject any counts that are submitted following the Tuesday deadline. Those might include "any pending manual recounts" or "corrective returns," Lewis wrote in his decision. "The secretary of state may ignore such late-filed returns, but may not do so arbitrarily," the decision read.
