What happens when the two representatives from each party present at the hand counting disagree about a particular ballot? Who decides? Does each county have the same standards for such decisions? HiTech

Kyros, it appears that Bush team is still considering further recounts in Florida. If true that the deadline for requesting this has passed, I suspect this is one area where the courts might intervene and order a hand recount for the whole state. What do you think? "Republican strategists, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that pending the outcome of the legal challenge, they were considering challenging narrow Gore victories in Wisconsin, Oregon or elsewhere, or possibly seeking recounts in additional counties in the Sunshine State." dailynews.yahoo.com

The first problem with hand counting is that this is a presidential election, and time is not on anybody's side, (except Bill Clinton's, that is. :D ) The second problem with it is that it is being done selectively, ie, only in Democratic PB county. That taints any benefit of determining the 'real' vote doesn't it? The third problem is that hand counting involves humans, and thus is subject to human error, intended or not. regards, Louis webcolumnists.com
