It appears that Palm Beach County won’t finish their recount by 3pm today, according to what their supervisor told the press a little while ago:
Hello from Palm Beach! Here is elections supervisor Susan Bucher telling press her county is unlikely to finish the Senate recount by 3pm deadline today. If that is indeed the case, she will resubmit the county’s initial totals from last Saturday.
Here’s the tweet:

In Palm Beach County, Nelson led Scott by just over 99k votes when 100% of voting came in. Gillum led DeSantis by over 100k votes.
The fact that they aren’t going to finish by the deadline makes me wonder what the recount is showing, if the new tabulation would be doing either Scott or DeSantis any favors. Perhaps it has something to do with this…
Palm Beach county recount is missing votes. They’re trying to figure out why.

Either way, if they submit what they already have from last Tuesday, I don’t expect it will hurt Scott as it’s already built in to his lead. And I’m not sure if we’ll ever know what this current recount has tabulated…
