Why didn't the Washington State recount degenerate into a blizzard of lawsuits? Because elections officials had counted all readable votes the first time around by machine and then by hand if the machine couldn't read it. There were no uncounted ballots to fight about.

I believe that Washington State, also, had a clear set of guidelines on what was considered a vote. A chad hanging by one or two corners was counted, indentations were not.
