I have not read the reasons that the Secretary of State used to deny the certification of additional recounted ballots. I haven't read them either but I can think of one important reason .. Each precinct in the counties currently undergoing a manual re-count of ballots cast Nov 7; has a written record of the exact number of registered voters who showed up on Nov 7 to cast their ballot .. Therefore; for each precinct the total exact number of "verifiable" votes is known .. ie .. you can't come up with more valid votes in a given precinct than the total number of registered voters that signed in on Nov 7th If, after completing the various re-counts, wether by hand or by machine .. any precinct tries to submit a "total" for certification that exceeds the number of voters known to have cast their votes .. then the SOS would be acting within her discretion to deny those votes in the certification process ..
