"The difference in Broward County was 0.29 percent — higher than the margin between the candidates in both the Senate and agriculture commissioner’s races."

Apparently, they have rules about how quickly the results have to be determined. Due to technical difficulties, if I read it correctly, roughly 3000 ballots got tossed out because of these time constraints, including in very close races. It also said that this situation more or less prevents hand recounts from being possible due to the same time constraints?

It doesn't make sense to me to have rules like that when you're trying to run a legitimate election, so please correct me if I misread it.
