'Contraband' Chad Found in Broward

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.  (AP) -- When the Broward County canvassing
board showed up for work Thursday morning, waiting on its work
table was a manila police envelope emblazoned with the words:
''Crime.  Found Property.''

Inside were 78 ''chads.''

The chads, bits of paper punched out of a ballot when a vote is
cast, were found on the floor in the room where a hand recount of
presidential ballots began Wednesday.  Republicans demanded that
deputies sweep them up and take them into custody as evidence of
possible vote tampering.

County Elections Supervisor Jane Carroll, a Republican member of
the canvassing board, was unimpressed by the package.

''I'm not surprised,'' said Carroll, who opposed the recount.
''This is what we expect.''

The envelope was in the possession of a deputy overnight.
Representatives from the Democratic and Republican parties joined
two deputies camping out in a sealed room with the ballots.
Democrat Al Gore gained seven votes after a full day of counting
20,000 ballots Wednesday.

Carroll said it's unlikely that all 78 of the chads fell out of
spaces for the presidential race.  She said there is no evidence
of a conspiracy here.

''We go with the saying, 'Let the chads fall as they may,''' she
said. ''Chads are not partisan.''
