the late great Miss Harris is about to call a press conference:

Good evening. I'm going to read a brief statement, but please understand, on the advice of our legal counsel, I won't be answering any questions this evening.

First of all, I'd like to thank all of the independently elected supervisors of elections, their staffs, their volunteers for the extraordinary work they performed over the past seven days. And they've just been terrific.

And I'd also like to acknowledge the overwhelming support that we have received as we've worked to fulfill our statutory responsibilities in ensuring a consistent, accurate and independent process.

As of 5 p.m. today, the director of the Division of Elections reported receiving certified returns from all 67 counties, as required by law. In the race for the president of the United States, or more precisely the 2008 primary.. these certified results from Florida's 67 counties for the top candidates are as follows: Sen Mccain, 2,910,492
Osama Obama Clinton Kennedy 2,910,192.
El Gato 1

drinks will be served in the lobby immediately.
