I understand why the late ballots in Florida seem like a surprise. But when we turned off the needle yesterday, it seemed like there just wasn't enough counted in south Florida; turned it off w/Scott having virtually no edge at all 
To be clearer: as of 2pm yesterday, we thought there were still 100k ballots left in South Florida, because the reported vote to that point didn't seem high enough (given the turnout elsewhere in the state/country)
It should be noted that the '100k' was an extremely rough guess. We had/have no special knowledge. What we know is that, historically, a county will seem done but there's really a lot left to come. We try and guess when there's more, based on turnout to that point v. expected
It was entirely possible that there were no ballots left. There could also be even more. I know nothing.
What I'm saying: these new ballots are mainly bringing turnout in south Florida into alignment with expectations

Based on my replies, it seems like I'm only confusing people. Two points:
--I know literally nothing about how much vote is left
--However, I am not surprised more votes were counted, and you can tell because it's what we projected at the time we unplugged the needle, yesterday
