time estimate on complete hand recount... alarming, minimum 50 days !!!

the WPalmBch 1% hand recount took 8 hours to conduct
extrapolate to the full 100% and you get 800 hours
assume some increasing efficiency in midstream (from clarity)
assume some decreased efficiency past halfway (from fatigue, rotation of teams)

let's just assume 750 hours for WPB County

give them 15 hours per day with rotating teams, an aggressive plan
(which instills more inefficiency)
(this ignores the panel's favorite pastime: arguing, talking)

and you get 50 days to hand recount !!!
I say this is a very conservative estimate, a minimum

with Electoral College deadline of Dec 12th, not enough time
FLorida will be excluded in the national prez vote

do this in all 67 counties and you have a absurdity

FL Sexy of State will soon be ruling here
either a complete hand recount, or go with the MACHINE RECOUNT

she must realize that a complete hand recount will take two months
just about Inauguration Day in mid-January
what a laugh !!!
becoming a travesty !!!

Hey t2: Dumb question....how many Florida absentee ballots were issued, what is the history of % return, what % were requested by military. I work for the Navy as a civilian and the majority of the folks at this base are pro-Bush based on the promise of increased defense spending. My guess is that the absentee ballots will blow Gore out of the water and he will conceed one week from today.
