Somewhere I lost a post that preceded this which had a citation plus some commentary. I seem to be having a lot of Senior moments today. Let me try again: A manual recount of all votes is one of three remedies, one of which is required -- not permitted, when an error in the vote that could effect the outcome is found. The statute is clear yet the chair of the canvassing board, Judge Burton, a Republican, wanted a delay to obtain an advisory opinion from the Secretary of State, another Republican, on whether a total manual recount was permitted before deciding whether to conduct the total recount. You would think that a Judge should be able to determine this result, unless he wanted to delay the recount to assist the Republican challenge to stop the manual recount. 102.166 Protest of election returns; procedure.-- (5) If the manual recount indicates an error in the vote tabulation which could affect the outcome of the election, the county canvassing board shall: (a) Correct the error and recount the remaining precincts with the vote tabulation system; (b) Request the Department of State to verify the tabulation software; or (c) Manually recount all ballots. leg.state.fl.us
