Nadine, I disagree about the manual counts. I am sure you and I could easily count 1000 ballots correctly if we did it 2 or 3 times. But I suspect we would often make mistakes counting 10,000 once. We are talking about 6 million. Also, the hanky panky need not be intentional - although that is a possibility too. It can come from unintentional bias. There are already many ballots in the sample counts in progress that have been put aside for review. That means there will be different subjective standards around the state determining the outcome of that group. In terms of fairness, I would prefer a mildly faulty non-partisan machine that may skip 1000 votes out of the 6 million to subjective judgement. I didn't hear any details about the Texas manual count law. I would be totally against the manual process unless their law doesn't allow an automated count prior to it. I would be for one recount only and prefer it be automated. If there is some inconsistency between what the Republicans want in Florida and what they have in Texas then I think the Republicans are goofballs.
