| You missed the point of the hand count, at least as I understand it. The counters supposedly will be looking for things on the ballot other than just whether one, two, or zero tabs are punched out for president. They're looking for other things, whatever they might be, that might indicate "the will of the people." Hand counting is subject not only to human error and bias, and by using a small sampling and extrapolating, any small error will be magnified greatly. Also, even if you are right in claiming it is more accurate, why should this one county's votes be counted more accurately than 100,000,000 other votes around the country? Shouldn't everyone's votes be counted accurately? Aren't these people's votes being shown favoritism, thus in a close election like this possibly DISENFRANCHISING 50,000,000 people? |
