# Judge halts certification of Palm Beach ballots

#
# West Palm Beach -- Presidential ballots in Palm Beach County
# can't be certified by the state pending a Tuesday court hearing,
# a circuit judge ruled Thursday.
#
# The preliminary injunction means the county, embroiled in a
# controversy over punchcard ballots that allegedly confused voters,
# could further delay for days the outcome of the presidential
# race between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore.
#
# The order, issued Thursday night by Circuit Judge Kathleen Kroll,
# is the result of one of six lawsuits filed in Palm Beach County
# by voters who say they may have mistakenly voted for Reform Party
# candidate Pat Buchanan instead of Vice President Gore because
# of the way the ballot was designed. Two other lawsuits filed
# in Tallahassee allege race discrimination in Tuesday's balloting.
#
# The Palm Beach County voters want a new election in the county.
#
# In the order, Kroll wrote that based on a lawsuit filed by two
# Boca Raton women it appears they would suffer ``irreparable
# injury'' if the votes are certified before the case can be heard.
#
# ``To preserve the electoral process in this presidential election
# and the important voters' rights at stake, there is an immediate
# need for a resolution in this case,'' Kroll wrote.
