dont worry about the hand recount

it will focus entirely on 3 precincts, with 1% of ballots checked by hand
their purpose is to provide a manual verification that machines counted properly

I dont think you will even hear numeric results
you will hear something like:

MANUAL RECOUNT CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE MACHINE COUNT

the State of FLorida is now under extreme pressure to end this process
they also realize that recount after recount is an absurdity
they have announced their intention to concentrate of the absentee ballots
the recount plus the absentees will make the final number

"indented punchouts" ... that is a silly worry

a machine will see a hole or not see a hole
a dented ballot by now would have been flattened out
they have been in boxes for days now
they have been read twice

"shitcanned absentee ballot envelopes" was the other irrational worry

now the Bush supporters are sounding stupid
