Good Morning, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
Apparently, the wait for the new President- Elect isn't over.
UNOFFICIAL results from the Florida recount show George W- Bush the winner.
But authorities say it'll be at least another week before we know for sure who has won the election.
And an injunction from a Florida judge may delay the decision even LONGER.
Jennifer Jones joins us now from West Palm Beach with an update.

As the tedious task of re-counting ballots from Florida's presidential
election goes into its third day, officials in the Sunshine State are
asking for patience.

"I want people to know that while there's a lot of frustration
surrounding this election, nobody ever said that democracy is simple or
efficient, but this is democracy in action. "
A final tally isn't expected until next Friday. That's when the deadline
to count ballots cast by Floridians living overseas expires. But we may
end up waiting even longer. Last night, a circuit judge stopped Palm
Beach County from certifying its final numbers. She'll hold a hearing
Tuesday to look into a lawsuit
alleging voters were confused by the ballot's lay-out.
SOT: Sec. Warren Christopher/Gore Advisor
"We have come to believe that there are serious and substantial
irregularities resulting from the ballot used only in one county.
SOT: Sec. James Baker/Bush Advisor
"It's a ballot that was used before. It was approved by an elected
official and there were no complaints."
While this political nail-biter unfolds, Gore and Bush are in political
limbo. The Vice President is back in Washington where he'll resume his
official duties. The Texas Governor though is forging ahead as if he
were the president elect.
