Counties Can't Account for All Ballots Reported in 2000

By JOHN M. BRODER

WASHINGTON, April 4 — The examination of disputed Florida presidential ballots reported today by The Miami Herald and USA Today demonstrated not only how difficult it is to count ballots with ambiguous markings. It also showed how hard it is to find the ballots that produced the Florida postelection chaos.

In county after county, the number of ballots produced for the newspapers' examination of so-called undervotes, ballots on which no preference for president registered, failed to match the totals reported by those counties in the immediate aftermath of the election last November.

In Orange County, for example, officials reported in November that they had found 966 ballots with no discernible vote for president. But when the newspapers went back to recount those undervotes, the county could only produce 639 such ballots. In Hillsborough County, the discrepancy was 137 votes; in Pinellas, 67.
