News· Police find locked ballot box at Miami hotel Click to enlarge photo MIAMI (Reuters) - Miami police on Friday found a locked ballot box from the disputed Florida election at a downtown hotel, a police officer said on Saturday. Police Lt. Diego Ochoa was speaking at a town hall meeting called by the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) to hear testimony of alleged irregularities in the election. Florida's 25 electoral votes hold the key to Tuesday's election as neither candidate can reach the 270 votes required to win the keys to the White House without them. A recount was ordered when the state race became too close to call. Ochoa, a 26-year veteran of the police department, said he came forward with the consent of his commanding officer and arrangements were now under way for election officials to pick up the box. The ballot box was labelled "Number 541." It was locked and was sealed by police with evidence paper. "At the moment we don't know exactly what's in the box," the officer said. He said: "We called the election departments yesterday (Friday/Veteran's Day) to tell them. As it was a holiday no one answered. That's what I understand." It was not clear how the box arrived at the hotel and Ochoa did not say if there would be a criminal investigation. There were no further details.
