Interesting...in most requests for manual recounts, they are approved without that burden of proof. I understand that Plaintiffs must prove their case, but in most states I would think that the Plaintiff would be the candidate who won the first time around and was trying to STOP the manual recount. "Regulations specified that a request for recount in a close election was permissable. But to receive that recount requires that the plaintiff ask for a manual recount. But as soon as he asked for a manual recount, he was required to show that said manual recount would produce different results. But in order to show that said manual recount would produce different results he had to perform a manual recount. However, he could not perform that manual recount without getting approval and moreover, he would only be granted that approval if he could show said manual recount would produce different results. TG, moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause 168 of FL election law, whistled: "that's some clause that clause 168" Wonder if FL lawmakers ever met Joseph Heller? "Regulations specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22" "That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. "It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed. Thank God Walt decided to put Disney World in FL. TG
