MIAMI, Nov 6 (Reuters) – Final election results from
Florida’s Miami-Dade County, which accounts for about 10 percent
of the crucial swing state’s registered voters, will not be
available until Wednesday afternoon, a senior election official
announced late on Tuesday.
Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Penelope Townsley told
reporters the delay was due to “an extremely high volume of
absentee ballots in this election” and because a handful of
precincts had voters still casting ballots after 10 p.m. EST
(0300 GMT Wednesday).
“We anticipate concluding the counting tomorrow afternoon,”
Townsley said.
