Yes, Dan she lost a state senate seat by 11 votes. She asked the very same canvassing board for a manual count and was turned down. The reason given by Carol Roberts was the law only allows a manual recount for the following two reasons: (a) there is a defect in the machine or (b) there is fraud involved. Absent one of those two reasons for a manual recount Roberts declined to recount. And, I believe it was only a couple or three thousand votes. Double standard? Ethics? Partisanship? They say there are several affidavits now stating Roberts has been seen altering ballots and shuffling piles of ballots to favor Gore. Sad day in America.
