USA Today on Wednesday quoted county election officials as saying they had already received 4,039 absentee ballots in 65 of Florida's 67 counties, a big increase from the 2,300 mail-in ballots counted in the 1996 presidential election. Counting of absentee ballots -- which have traditionally been mostly Republican but could tip to the Democratic side due to high interest in the election by Americans living in Israel -- is due to begin on Saturday. Officials in Palm Beach County, a Democratic-dominated county that will begin a manual recount of its 460,000 votes at 7 a.m. EST on Wednesday, have already warned that it could take five days to finish the job -- if Harris agrees. That would mean Florida's election results would not be available until Monday evening at the earliest. Further complicating matters are a series of lawsuits winding their way through the courts.
