In the absence of detailed standards, then it is implicit upon the system to defaul back to the most conservative and clear standard, which was to not count subjective under/over votes. It obviously wasn't as simple as that in Florida, Ron, because they did permit manual recounts and did leave them up to the discretion of the local canvassing boards, with no statewide guidance except "the intent of the voter". Do you think it was unconstitutional to permit manual recounts under these circumstances?
