TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Palm Beach County should have until Nov. 20 to complete the recount process, a judge ruled Tuesday.
The supervisor of elections has said that it would be impossible to meet the Florida recount's Thursday deadline.
The ruling by Florida Circuit Judge Karen Giever is likely to be challenged in federal court.
Elections chief Susan Bucher had repeatedly said Palm Beach County's older voting equipment would not be able to recount the votes fast enough to meet the 3 PM Thursday deadline set by Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner.
Also Tuesday, Democratic Senator Bill Nelson, who is locked in a tight race with governor Rick Scott, filed a lawsuit in federal court that would extend the deadline to all of Florida's 67 counties, not just Palm Beach.
The Nelson campaign called the deadline "arbitrary."
