Hello Zeev Had,

I just heard a report that those punch cards (not just the butterfly affair, but all punch cards used there in 26 counties) have an error rate of 32/1000 that is 3.2% quite unacceptable, IMHO, particularly when the winner has a margin under .005%.
This morning on one of the talk shows, someone said the manual count error rate is somewhere betwwen 5 - 10%. That is why everyone moved to machine count and also for speed.

Also, I heard someone wanted to machine recount the ballots that are in doubt after they were manually recounted to compare the results. Seems only fair.

Manual are known to favor the underdog that's why the democrats what to recount only the those precinits that are heavily democratic.

Thank You
JK
