The mere handling of the ballots is permanently ruining their pure evidentiary status as well. At this point in the legal case this is really the material fact on which the court must rule. Plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief. One critical criteria for the granting of such relief is that if it is not granted there will be irreparable harm, such that plaintiffs will not be able to achieve equity at law, unless the court prevents defendants from taking the action anticipated. Mondays hearing should probably not deal with the merits of the case but rather the extent to which counting the votes would irreparably harm Busch. Unless this claim of irreparable harm is determined to be valid the judge should not grant the injunction. Busch's argument that the hand count in less valid than the machine count, or for whatever reasons should not be used, is one which would be heard by the appropriate court. Based on their complaint, they have not made a compelling point as to why the conducting the hand count at all, will make it impossible for the court to direct the state or federal election authorities to use or ignore whichever count it determines once the case has been heard in full. But you should remember that I'm just a day trader and my opinion on this issue is not binding. <gg>
