Another Poll Shows Not Many Favor Hand Counts A second online Harris Poll of 6,101 likely voters, conduced Monday and Tuesday, found the electorate does not support the hand counting of ballots only in four heavily Democratic counties. Just 6 percent said the four counties should be hand counted, while 23 percent would hand county those four and any other counties requested by either party. Twenty-nine percent would hand count the entire state. But 40 percent oppose any kind of hand counting — and 72 percent of Republicans supported this position. Even Democratic voters opposed the Democrats’ attempt to count just four counties by hand. While Republicans preferred no additional hand counts, 52 percent would support it if it were applied throughout the state. Voters are divided on Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris’ decision to enforce Florida's statutory requirement for Tuesday's 5 p.m. ballot count deadline and certify the ballots. Forty-nine percent of voters were in favor of the decision, while 43 percent were opposed. foxnews.com
