DUMPSTER FIRE: Broward County hasn't even begun COUNTING ballots yet for the recount

Broward County, Florida, you’re a hot mess right now:

No counting yet, still separating pages at the Supervisor of Elections Office in Broward. See me inside for details this morning NBC 6 https://t.co/u23hpqTa4I

The deadline for the recount is Thursday, by the way. From the Tampa Bay Times:

Two days after state officials ordered a statewide recount in three key races that ended within razor-thin margins, Broward County elections officials said Monday they have not yet started their recount of more than 700,000 ballots it must tally before Thursday’s deadline.

Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes said she was not concerned that her office would not meet its deadline, even if the start of the recount is delayed until Tuesday morning.

Keep in mind, Miami-Dade County, Broward’s larger neighbor to the south, is already half done:

Hmmm….Broward hasn’t started recount; Miami-Dade is half done https://t.co/4w9jx1fxA3

Miami-Dade has completed the recount of ballots from election day/mail-in ballots and is now on “early voting in-person ballots”:

UPDATE: Miami Dade SOE says the recount of election day ballots and mail-in ballots is done. Now, the recount begins of early voting in-person ballots. More on @CBSMiami all morning long. #Recount #Florida #Election2018 pic.twitter.com/LWlLU5IxXB
