Discrepancy forces re-count of 6,000 absentee ballots

A more than 6,000-vote discrepency in absentee ballots counted in Tuesday's election has forced Palm Beach County to re-count all of those votes.

County Judge Barry Cohen, a member of the county's canvassing board, said 37,839 votes from absentee ballots were counted in Tuesday's election — far more than the 31,095 that were actually sent in.

The 12-hour recount will delay certifying the results of elections until at least 11 a.m. Thursday.
