senate and gubernatorial races and with one statewide race already changing hands. every single vote truly does count. steve shale and ali vitaly where the virts are headed. what do we expect to happen at noon? is an larm going to go off in that building? what is going to happen at noon when all those ballots get there? we ve been talking about this noon deadline and now that its finally here. at around 2:00, we ll hear there s an official recount in effect and happening. that s what we ve been moving towards all week. we just heard from our colleague ron allen who s down in broward county who tells us that they ve transmitted their canvassing results to the secretary of state s office. broward county has seemed to have met that deadline.
3.9% asian american, 29.7% hispanic. brenda snipes who was the election supervisor and has been since i lived there has had a lot of issues in terms of getting the voting to work. we know that in very diverse counties often they don t have the same level of resources, great voting machines. its not clear why broward always has so much trouble. steve can tell you, broward county is typically the last county to count. its a huge county. its 1.9 million people. i don t know if its the size or if its something about the machines, but it is typically miami-dade and broward county, the most democratic counties and racially diverse counties and you do have to wonder whether the secretary of state s office in tallahassee needs to look at upgrading the voting systems in these heavily minority counties. the state is 100% run by republicans in tallahassee and there has long been a complaint
you can think of, steve, for that? only in broward county that happenin happening. well, if you look at the ballot, on the left-hand side, the instructions went down to the ballot and then the race was there. the governor s race was to the top of the ballot, and some people think they missed the race. the one interesting thing about it is congressional races were directly below the senate races. it didn t have the same undervote. so there s a question of whether or not people just missed the race or if there s an issue with scanners. this is why we have a recount. every one of these ballots will be inspected by hand. we ll try to find out if they does try to vote or if it was a true undervote. when it comes to polling and dat data, we turn to fernand. can you explain just looking at it as a data guy, i was
voters having any sense of a lack of integrity in the process and marco rubio is someone who s been a pretty vocal voice in terms of florida statewide republican lawmakers who are intervening now in this process on behalf of rick scott and ron desantis. steve, it appears to you then that there will be both a senate and gubernatorial recount, and if so, what does this tell you about the future of politics in florida and the direction in which its heading? reporter: well, three recounts which will be interesting. the reality with florida is, it really is three or four, five states meshed into one. its very competitive. i think if ali and i ran against each other, we would have very close elections. the last two governors races before this was decided by a point. the last two presidential elections were decided by a point. its just where we are right now as a state.
would not comply with that. come noon today, we expect the recounts to be automatically triggered. i m glad to finally get you on the show. you re doing a great job down there. let s get to steve, the guru of florida politics. we have the two best in the business of florida politics on this show right now. steve, there s a lot of discomfort with the way this race went among a lot of folks. my former friends and neighbors in south florida, for a lot of reasons. the broward delay, now brenda snipes is being attacked by the president of the united states, the current governor there s also a question of whether or not all the ballots will make it to tallahassee today. the miami herald is looking at ballots that will mailed through this opa-locka facility, where the notorious bomber, sayoc was
