CNN is now reporting it at least on their website (I assume it's been 
on the tv as well) - it's at 
http://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/11/08/ballotbox.found/

I don't know how many ballots are in the box, but after they 
Alohamora it and tally it up, I would be very surprised if there 
weren't enough Gore votes in there to push him into the lead - the 
article on CNN says that it's a heavily democratic precinct. However, 
I'm trying not to be overoptimistic. 
Turnout here in Dade County was estimated at 80%, and since the 
Hispanic population in this county is the majority, it would make 
sense that the hispanic vote was in the high 80's percentagewise. 
I'll see if the Herald has any more informaiton about the turnout 
components. 


more reports from the front to come....
