Nadine, you wrote: Assuming the voting pattern of these new votes does not deviate sharply from the voting pattern of the machine-counted votes, the net effect of the manual recount will be to benefit the candidate who won the machine count. Now, why is this simple deduction too hard to follow? You've made a deduction from an assumption, not from known facts. The reason I offered the Miami-Dade example to you is that I believe the Democratic Party-controlled canvassing board there stopped when it became clear to them that they were NOT going to find an appreciable number of new Gore votes, and worse, they might find more Bush votes.
