Hello Zeev Had,

From what I understand, the TEXAS law on manual recounts has standards and rules which is different than the Florida. In Florida each district has the right to determine how and what will be counted.

Thank You
JK

Zeev... "JK, interesting, I wonder why the Governor of Texas (the things you learn listening to TV on Sunday (G)) in 1997 signed into law that any recount of votes in Texas will be carried out manually."

It was mentioned on TV earlier that the law he signed into effect only affected certain paper ballots that could not be counted by machine and could only be counted manually. It seems hat the prior law called for ALL ballots to be counted by machine, thus the law had to be changed to allow the voice of those people to be heard. It seems there are some areas in Texas where plain paper ballots are still used. I'm not sure but I think they referred to some areas heavily populated by Indians. I could be wrong on this part about the Indians.
