Kenneth: The Florida law clearly provides for a right to a hand recount when requested Justice O'Connor: It says that the board may authorize the manual recount, it doesn’t require it. If it does authorize it, then it tells it how to do it and says they shall appoint as many counting teams as necessary, presumably as necessary to do it within the time limit.

Kenneth - "The Florida law clearly provides for a right to a hand recount when requested. The hand recount was requested but not done. The judge has an opportunity to prevent irreparable harm from being done by the passage of time. " Better brush up on Florida law. There is NO law that CLEARLY PROVIDES FOR A RIGHT TO A HAND COUNT WHEN REQUESTED". there is a law allowing a candidate to REQUEST one. Once requested, a sample count occurs in a few precincts - the it is entirely at the discretion of the local Canvassing board which of 3 options they pursue, if they decide to pursue any of them. Only one of those options is the full hand count. This is not a requirement Geez - I hope you know the law better for your own clients <g>
