On the contrary, the reason that state law allows for manual recount is that it is far far more accurate. The Texas state law by the way even gets into details as to how to handle the chad question and what constitutes a vote. What is a well known fact is that two machine counts gave largely different results. This in spite of some cancellation, that is, some uncounted votes went to Gore and some to Bush, with an overall increase in votes due to the mechanical fact that these loose chads came off in the handling. Common sense really, unless you're a Limbaugh loony. As far as dragging this thing on well it's the Bush camp that's trying to delay the counting of the votes. We have already lost a couple of days due to their court challenges, and I for one resent their impugning the character of the Floridian's that are trying to make an honest count. Don't be afraid, just count the votes.
