Palm Beach County says hand count doesn’t match machine recount News-Journal wire services WEST PALM BEACH -- The results of Palm Beach County’s manual recount of thousands of presidential ballots do not match up with figures from the last machine count, a county spokeswoman said late Monday. Denise Cote said “unaudited figures” from the manual recount were sent to state elections officials for certification, though that doesn’t mean the numbers were wrong. She refused to discuss details. The manual recount was rejected Sunday by Secretary of State Katherine Harris because it arrived incomplete, throwing out a net gain of 180 votes for Democrat Al Gore in his battle against Republican George W. Bush. She instead accepted figures from the county’s last machine recount, on Nov. 12. Cote’s announcement raises the possibility that if a court orders the state to accept results from the manual recount, those numbers may be wrong. news-journalonline.com
