Slacker, I understand your concern that hand counting could increase the subjectivity of the count but it is my impression that the canvassing boards are doing a commendable job of counting the votes and those votes that can not be read with reasonable certainty are not counted anyway. The three counter system has been tried and tested many times and is the best we have. It is certainly better than ignoring the votes that, for whatever reason, didn't register when they went through the card reader. Many of the undervote are merely hanging chads that have a 50% chance (or greater) of hanging closed when they run through the machine.
