"The ballots will eventually be accurately counted to satisfy Florida's sunshine laws, right? " How in the world can there ever be an "accurate" count now... so many of them have been so manhandled and de-chaded it will be impossible to get back to the way it was on Nov 7th...

The ballots will eventually be accurately counted to satisfy Florida's sunshine laws, right? Under the sunshine laws the ballots will probably be photographed and analysed with more precision than the dead sea scrolls.

Not very likely - they will be counted by partisans on one side or the other to prove or disprove a point but those counts will be even more subjective than the hand recounts attempted by professional election officials. After all, the professional administrators in three neighboring counties could not agree on what constitutes a legal vote, how to determine voter intent, the accuracy of their own sampling, and a host of other issues. Who is going to make up the "rules" for these post-inaugural recounts?
