The laws as written are clear enough, and they specify that manual recounts are permitted, but that results must still be submitted within 7 days. Perhaps the legislature should have drafted the laws differently, but they didn't. Harris simply did what the law commanded, which is exactly what she should have done.

I don't see any constitutional issues here with regard to how citizens being treated inequitably. All I see is a very limited right to a manual recount in that it must be done quickly. I do not know of any constitutional right to a manual recount, and if the law didn't provide for one, I doubt that one would be available. Thus one is only available to the extent the law provides, and it says that it must be done in 7 days.
