> You seem to be misapplying that benchmark to undamaged ballots. I realize that this benchmark was cited in the law only in the context of counting damaged ballots. One of the Bush attorneys argued this yesterday before the Supreme Court. As I recall, one of the justices seemed to indicate that, even though damaged ballots were addressed in the strict context, they might be willing to apply this benchmark more broadly (if indeed they agree that a manual recount of undamaged ballots is even warranted in this case). In citing this as the standard, I'm being intentionally gracious. The important point here is that, even if you concede that the standard applies to undamaged ballots, the counting that has been going on doesn't meet the standards. The Gore side has a real problem here.
