Okay it's time to be honest and straight about the recount. Disclosure: I'm a Rep. who voted for Bush. Now....

I concede a manual recount is the absolute best way to recount if certain criteria are met first.

A) The very first recount is by hand. Not the second, the third, the forth or any time after that.

B) All ballots get recounted not those picked by the apparent winner or loser. This means state wide in a case such as Fl. when the winner was called early and incorrectly...who knows how many times.

C) Multiple recounts are not allowed since it's possible to spoil ballots by re-handling them, thus rendering the will of the voter void.

D) The canvassing boards are re-adjusted on recounts to assure the voter that NOT only two people are in charge on recounts. Or that all ballots that are questionable are moved to another group of 7 people to judge separately.

The Bush camp is not really against the hand recounts IMO, it's that the hand recounts are coming as the third or forth count and the more the ballots are handled the less accurate they become. It gives the appearance that the more they are counted the more they are manipulated.
