Jim, I think the republicans can prevent any further mischief in PB county if they are vigilant. Obviously any tallying "errors" in favor of GOre (or BUsh, for that matter) that took place in the first or second machine recount would be flushed out in a hand recount. (In which county was that '6' initially supposedly misinterpreted as a '1'? -- that one looked suspicious to me.)

The precincts are done one at a time (I hope) and start with sorting the ballots into Gore/Bush/nothing/invalid piles. The republicans should be closely monitoring the counts for these piles and comparing them to the previous totals. Same for the Dems. An increase in the total number is obvious fraud. An increase in multi-votes accompanied by a decrease in Bush (or Gore) votes would also be suspicious. The trickiest one would be a decrease in non-votes (none of the candidates, not a multi-vote) for president, with the votes going proportionally more to one candidate.
