TLC, don't try to spin the recounts and impugn them by calling into question their fairness. Those counts were conducted in the open with equal numbers of democrats and republicns being present to observe and participate. If you accept the legal definition of "intent", the state of one's mind at the time one carries out an action, then can an argument be formed that if the voter using a punch-card ballot fails to perform the action of punching out the card, that voter's intention cannot possibly be divined due to the fact that an action must follow an intention in order to argue the intention? No. Legal precedent controls here and I'm not going to rehash it with you. Voter intent includes any discernable mark that a voter makes on a ballot. That's the law.
