Listen closely. A machine recount may have deficiencies. But errors will occur on both sides. This machine is neither Democrat nor Republican. It doesn't care that Bush won this election. Now, a subjective hand re-re-count in heavily democratic areas is, well, subjective. Do you understand this? Coming closer to you to listen. Ok, now you agree that errors occur on both sides. Why not eliminate those errors? Why throw in arguments about subjectivity and all? Take your time and determine the true winner. Do you understand this?

This machine is neither Democrat nor Republican. Not quite true, the punch card machines which are vulnrable to missing votes were installed in heavy democratic counties (which were presumably more populous and needed faster machines) while the ballots and machines which were not prone to missing votes were installed in largely republican (low density) counties. The bias is there, the bias is by party, but as usual the ultimate bias resides in humans and not the machines themselves. TP
