Other new developments: A Palm Beach County judge ruled today that the Palm Beach canvassing board may make its own rules on which ballots are valid. The board had asked the judge to rule on whether ballots with "dimples" -- when punches do not go completely through the card -- are valid. The county had delayed a recount pending this decision. It is not clear whether the county will go ahead with its recount. Heavily Democratic Broward County decided today to conduct a full hand recount. CNN's Susan Candiotti reports that the decision by the divided Broward County Canvassing Board reverses an earlier move by the panel, which had first said that some ballots had been disqualified because of voter error. The panel now says the errors were due to machine problems. Republicans lost a bid to remove Carol Roberts, a Democrat, from the three-member Palm Beach County canvassing board. Roberts denied GOP allegations that during recounts she manipulated ballots and mixed "questionable" punch cards with those cast for Gore. "As a member of this board, I have been and will continue to be fair and impartial and I am not recusing myself," Roberts said in a statement. The full board also said it would not seek Roberts' dismissal.
