dealie, As I listend to that I imagined sitting in on some of my local council meetings etc. It scares me to think that these folks are going to determine our next President based on whatever standard they apply to hand recount these ballots. I cannot imagine my county having that power. That would truly be scary knowing the people we have here in office. I am certain that most of them are trying very hard under an extreme worldwide microscope and they are wondering why on earth they ever wanted to do this job. It is pressure I would not want. Unreal.
