Florida records retention schedule question



I was talking to a new neighbor over the weekend, and a question came
up which I am sure will be of interest to many people, and I suspect
there is someone on the list who can answer it. Does Florida have a
records retention schedule that applies to the ballots from this
election, and if so, what is the retention period for ballots?  A
columnist in _Time_ magazine raised the scenario that two years into
the G. W. Bush administration (as it appears it is going to be)
someone might manage to make a full recount of the Florida ballots and
discover that Al Gore actually carried Florida, and what then? So
we're curious to know if this would even be a possibility.
