Since each county voted via different mechanisms there is no way to answer your question that I know. How for instance would they hand count machine votes? The issue of intent there I suppose is unambiguous. But these paper ballots, if they happen to lie in predominately Democratic counties and precincts deserve to be hand counted as necessary. Possibly all of them. So let me ask you this, in those counties, where machines are used, and there is presumably an unambiguous accounting of intent, if those are predominately in Republican counties, does that mean then that it is fair that their intent is measured fully but other Democratic counties may not? Is it then fair to stop those recounts? Isn't the goal, the most accurate result possible of the measure of the will of the people?
