LOL, that's funny. I could say someone stuck the stylus next to a candidate and decided not to push through for him/her. This may even be likely when considering the undecided folks standing there voting, but this argument may not be worth waging even if it's quite plausible. Best, is just to recognize that handcounting these things DOES recover votes, and like it or not, if the oversight is/was proper at all times, it's going to be fairly fairly done. Best, is to consider that you can't rightly call such a vote recovery method fair when it is employed to the benefit of only one candidate, where the other candidate could benefit if the same method were employed on all state ballots. The Federal courts won't allow it, you can bet I'd say, and the American People can and will understand this. My Guess now is, the Federal courts will give the State the task of deciding whether the hand-count goes statewide, or the vote goes in to Congress as it is.
