Election offices across Florida will have to hand count at a bare minimum almost 54,000 ballots in the U.S. Senate race.
A survey of 64 of Florida’s 67 counties by The Associated Press put the number of overvotes and undervotes Thursday evening at 53,769 ballots in the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and GOP Gov. Rick Scott.
The only counties that hadn’t reported those counts were three of the state’s largest: Broward, Lee and Palm Beach counties.
In an overvote, a voter picks more than one choice for the same race. With an undervote, the voter doesn’t pick a choice in a race.
The deadline for finishing the hand count is Sunday.
