<Perhaps a state wide hand count would be the logical remedy, but Florida law seems to have no such provision.> Not exactly. ", the voting machines roughly speaking have a reliability of approximately .9973. The commission in palm beach ordered a manual count because, in the words of the statute, the 'outcome of the vote' may be effected. The Florida law on elections is surprisingly detailed on these points. But the only way that the Palm Beach Vote Tally will effect the 'outcome' is that it would be the only county, or less than all counties, hand counted. So logically, the only way to legally determine the "outcome" is to hand count all the ballots. Which in statistical theory, if Bush now has a 951 vote lead would increase his lead to ~983. There is no fraud, there is not even a little hankie-pankie, which is the object of the electoral laws of the State of Florida. I think a court if asked to would order a recount of the entire state based on the above reasoning." Message 14789108
