Fueled by tweets from President Donald Trump, dozens of protesters stormed Broward County's elections office, directing a chant of "lock her up" at Brenda Snipes, the county's supervisor of elections. Other demonstrators supporting the Democrats demanded every vote be counted.

Facing a deadline of noon Saturday to submit the first unofficial results, canvassing board members continued to scrutinize provisional ballots well into the evening.

As of Friday night, an undetermined number of ballots remained to be counted in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Palm Beach County elections chief Susan Bucher said her county's canvassing board could have the first unofficial votes in late Friday night, slightly ahead of the deadline.
