Fla. counting last presidential votes; Obama leads
Nov 8, 9:47 AM EST
MIAMI (AP) -- Florida is counting its final presidential ballots as President Barack Obama holds a narrow lead in the state.

Most of the remaining ballots are being counted Thursday in Miami-Dade County. The state's largest county had a last-minute wave of absentee ballots that needed to be processed. Combined with a tight race, that has delayed the announcement of a winner.

Obama leads the count 49.9 percent to Romney's 49.3 percent. That's a difference of about 47,000 votes out of 8.3 million cast.

If he claims Florida's 29 electoral votes, Obama would increase his victory margin in the Electoral College to 332 to Romney's 206.


It's Miami Dade, where people stood on line all day and well into the night in order to vote. People were stillk on line at 10:30 at night on 11/6. Tremendous turnout plus I suppose Gov. Scott's decision to curtail early voting by several days really hurt us. Miami Dade is determined I suppose to count every vote.

Another article from Miami Herald says the absentee ballots are now the problem:

I voted early by absentee ballot. I was afraid if I voted on the computer it would be flipped to Romney.

I imagine that is what happened in Miami Dade also.
