FL law allows for a hand count ONLY when there is fraud or machine failure. It does not allow for hand counting for close elections... For a close election, the law allows for a machine recount... Not a hand count. Now, to compare FL laws with TX laws, that Gov. Bush signed, is comparing apples to oranges... TX ballots are read by optical scanners, which means that there would be a marking of some sort on the ballot... and as you may very well know, a marking, even if erased, in all likelihood, will leave a trace... a punched card, a hanging chad, a dimpled chad will leave no trace... that is why Mr. Baker rejected the hand count in FL... because it leaves plenty of room for mischief... ESPECIALLY when FL law does not have provisions for a hand count for close elections. the LAW is the LAW ... and all HAVE to abide by it... not at our convenience. Oh, I must be paranoid for wanting to have FL's law upheld huh. regards amein
