Where's GVs apology? Wednesday November 15 10:42 AM ET GOP Accuses Election Board Member By KARIN MEADOWS, Associated Press Writer WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Republicans contend Palm Beach County Commissioner Carol Roberts poked, twisted and manipulated ballots during a Saturday hand recount of four precincts and they are asking her to step down from the election canvassing board. She said Wednesday she had been ``fair and impartial.'' Roberts approved several ballots displaying only minor indentations while refusing to count ballots with partially punched holes, according to a letter to the canvassing board from Republican lawyer James Higgins. ``The Republicans filed a written request that Ms. Roberts should recuse herself from the board. They are alleging she is biased,'' said County Judge Charles Burton, chairman of the three-member board. He read a statement from Roberts Wednesday in which she said the ballots were recounted ``in full view of observers from both parties and cameras from all over the world,'' that all questions were decided by the three members of the board and that no complaints were voiced at the time. The Palm Beach recount was stalled again Wednesday as board members waited for a state court to say which manner of indentations or partial punch-outs should count as votes. Roberts voted against delaying the count again. Burton and Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore voted in favor of the delay. ``We decided that we would wait because we need clear direction on what to do,'' Burton said.
