<<Until the court rules they are valid, they are illegal>>

I believe that the court [who determines legality ] says to keep counting.....Thus the action of counting is legal as of now!

<<It depends on the Supreme court, six of whom are democrats, and all (naturally)...IMPARTIAL! WHAT LUCK!!!>>

The law permits them to be Democrats!......

Would they be legal if they were Republicans? .....They have to be something. What shall we do disqualify them because they are members of one party?. Is this what the law says?

<<That the whole procedure is video taped?

Precisely, that is my evidence.>>

LOL .....Have you seen the video ?......Have you reliable evidence from some who have seen it ? If not it appears that you are claiming something to be fact [bias resulting in improper counting ] without any evidence to do so.

<<What is in question is the fact that only a tiny minority of citizens are being given the right to several proddings to see if their vote will confess.?>>

My,my you do have a way with words....Only voters who's ballots have not been counted by the machine are looked at to see why not......
Other citizens don't need this attention assuming their votes have been counted by the machine....
Allowing a voter to have his/her vote counted does not qualify as prodding IMHO

<<You have just mentioned that you "keep hearing this" (that it is)..."despicable and contemptible". >>

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.What I keep hearing is Republicans on SI saying the recounts will go on until the Demo's get their results.....Not that it would or would not be despicable etc.

BTW Most of the people I speak to in 3d think that the manual votes should be counted ...........I might add that I just heard a poll on CNN say Americans agree that the manual votes should be counted 60% to 37%..........That's what I keep hearing from my fellow citizens
