No, the point is the distribution of these mistakes and not the mistakes themselves... the distribution of recount allowance as well... these may dwarf the meaningfulness of the original problem statistically speaking. Don't think so...especially when you look at weird situations like the one below...So much for the distribution of error argument. washingtonpost.com There were also a surprising percentage of ballots in some counties that did not reflect a vote for president--more than 100,000 statewide, even while they voted in the lower races. In Duval County, where Jacksonville is located, more than 9 percent of the ballots had no presidential vote. "I don't have an answer," said Dick Carlberg, assistant Duval election supervisor. "That seems awfully high--9 percent without a vote." One reason for the no-vote ballots could be the failure of voters to push a complete hole through the computer punch-card ballots. The only way to determine whether a voter indeed voted but failed to make a sufficient hole is through the laborious procedure of having the ballots recounted by hand by a bipartisan committee to determine the voter's intent.
