absentee or provisional ballots have until 5:00 to fix the mistake and make sure the votes are acted. the next deadline is the hand recount. that s supposed to finish tomorrow at noon. the sense that we re getting is that most of these counties have already met that or will meet that by tomorrow. that s especially important when you talk about places like here in palm beach county, which had a lot of problems with that machinery count due to older machines breaking down and not being able to do more than one race at once. the third deadline is going to be tuesday. that s the day when everyone here is going to certify the election results. you make the important point and the place that we feel we re settling into right now, which is the margin between rick scott and bill nelson has always been tight, but the nelson folks have had to thread that needle of how are they going to come up with those 12,000-odd votes. it seems like they re not going
