I don't think anyone is arguing that a recount should not have been done. It was a close election, and the FL law mandated a recount. The recount was done state-wide, and Bush still won. What is at issue is a re-recount in selected counties, in spite of no proof that the machines were faulty. In fact, the hand recounts are reaffirming that the machines were accurate. They did not count ballots that were not punched through -- as was clearly stated in the voting rules posted inside the boots. So now we have individuals, with consious or unconsious bias, attempting to read voter's minds. Suppose the manual recount shows Gore ahead, as it probably will (given that it is taking place in dem counties). Should the reps be allowed to count them again? Should they be allowed to ask for hand recounts in Rep counties? If not, why are the Reps the only ones who have to observe the letter of the law?
