The only major problem in Volusia was found in a precinct where the hand count turned up 320 ballots not previously recorded. Election officials explained that a ballot machine had inadvertently been reset on Election Day, erasing the votes from the machine's memory. That shows the need for a recount, maybe the need for a 2nd recount (becuase the 320 ballots where not discovered on the first) but it doesn't show the need for a hand recount. All the ballots would be run through the machine again on each recount. Unless the machines have been shown to be inaccurate I'm not sure a hand recount is a good idea. If the machines are inacurrate then they should be replaced before the next election. Tim
