There is a long way to go in the ballot recount in St. Lucie County.

Officials have separated out the ballots that were over- or under-votes in Senate race.

There are 1,180 ballots in which the machine could not determine a clear choice by a voter and are being reviewed manually in the hand recount.

There are four tables set up as stations with at least one Democratic and Republican representative to sort through the ballots, and then the canvassing board, with Judge Phillip Yacucci tapping in for Judge Kathryn Nelson, who had to leave for court this afternoon).

Earlier Friday, the canvassing board ruled on a ballot that had been determined to be a "no vote" by the observers, but was protested by the Republican representative.

The ballot had a pencil mark for Scott erased, and the write-in bubble filled in, along with the comment "both should be in jail."

It was ruled an over-vote, which means it did not count.
