Maybe because they already reported #'s from their being recounted...? Florida Recount at a Glance Reported at 10:12PM EST Florida Recount at a Glance By The Associated Press COUNTING: --Statewide: George W. Bush's unofficial lead is 675 votes if hand recounts and recertified totals from at least three counties are included. His official lead absent any ballots from these recounts is 930 votes. --Bay County: Bush had a net gain of two votes after the canvassing board decided to accept 12 previously rejected overseas ballots. --Brevard County: Bush had a net gain of eight votes after the canvassing board met this week and decided to accept 20 previously rejected overseas ballots. --Broward County: With all 609 precincts and absentees recounted, plus 1,102 of an estimated 1,800 questionable ballots reviewed, Gore has a net gain of 353 votes. In other words, Gore picked up a net gain of 216 votes from the ongoing review of questionable ballots. --Clay County: Bush picked up a net gain of 12 votes when the canvassing board decided to accept 14 of 17 previously rejected overseas ballots. In Duval County, the canvassing board voted to accept 68 of 81 previously rejected overseas ballots. Bush had a net gain of of 20 votes -- 44 for Bush, 24 for Gore. The board had struck a deal with Republicans under which the GOP dropped the county from the lawsuit and the county agreed to count 68 of the 81 overseas ballots that had been rejected. --Miami-Dade County: The canvassing board voted unanimously to stop the county's hand recount Wednesday. Previously, with 135 of 614 precincts recounted, Al Gore had gained 157 votes. But the county no longer plans to ask the state to include that figure in its final returns. Earlier, a sample hand count of three precincts gave Gore a net increase of six votes, and county officials have asked those votes be included in certification. --Nassau County: The canvassing board unanimously decided to use the Nov. 7 vote totals instead of the results of a machine recount that inadvertently missed about 200 presidential ballots. The action resulted in a net gain for 52 votes for Bush. --Okaloosa County: Bush picked up two votes after the canvassing board met earlier this week and decided to accept two previously rejected overseas ballots. --Palm Beach County: With results released from 243 of 637 precincts recounted, Bush gained 8 votes.
