This is why I believe you are mistaken:

If the law allows a manual recount, then it seems reasonable that the recount be done fully.

The democrats are not talking merely about recounting ballots. They are advocating attempting to judge the intent of voters who for whatever reason spoiled their ballots. This judgment will be made by partisan, fallible human beings as opposed to disinterested machines. This process is doomed to reduce the moral authority of the Fl vote, not increase it.

The wisdom if the "arbitrary" time limit is validated by the fact that as time passes, only Gore votes seem to show up.
