He would have fared better if that would have been their position from the beginning. If they would have requested a statewide count I agree with you he would have looked far better in the court of public opinion. However, my opinion of what he did tonight is that he made the offer because (a) he saw the handwriting on the wall and (b) he knew it wouldn't be accepted. The republicans don't trust a hand vote because it is probably no more accurate than a machine vote, is subjective, and very open to misdeeds to gain the desired outcome of the participants in the recount. Machines will give an honest count where, if I were counting, and dimples were allowed I would bet I could easily create a dimple with a fingernail. I quickly say I wouldn't want to do that and I wouldn't want to get crosseyed counting 10000 ballots in a day. Anyway, I would probably put them in the wrong pile unintentionally. *s*
