Edit: Wait there's more: Newsflash JGunn, they're using those same machines to sort the ballots in those same democratic counties! What nimrods! Actually, it seems like a smart and expedient idea to me. Miami-Dade County is using the machines to count the ballots and when the machine stops on one it can't count, they remove that ballot - which then becomes what they are calling an "undervote" - and these become the ones they review by hand. Sounds like a good way to speed up the process to me. Republicans who keep insisting that there is nothing wrong with the machines will have a hard time finding fault with this way to complete the hand count as quickly as possible. They reported that the machine is stopping, on average, after every 61 ballots. Now this all raises a question. If this is how the machines operate and they know it stops on these unreadable/questionable ballots, why weren't these hand counted or checked or evaluated in the first, original count?
