a recount by your narrow definition might be only to count ballots that have already been counted, though I question the need to count ballots that have already been counted.

That's a very reasonable, standard definition -- not narrow at all. In fact, it's you who are inconsistent, since you argued here a few days ago (without proof) that even machines don't come up with the same count twice.

Sometimes people forget to sign in.

And sometimes they forget to sign in a second, third, and even fourth time.

by law, every ballot needs to be counted, even ballots that missed a first count by error.

Every VALID ballot needs to be counted -- excluding those that were invalidated pursuant to the rules the first time around but casually thrown into the hopper by the democrats on the second or third go-round.

There go the democrats again -- changing the rules in the middle of an election.

Sometimes people forget to sign in. This isn't a King County problem.

And it's not just a problem with this election, it's happened in almost every election that's gone before. Often there are more votes than logged voters.

How do you tell the difference between that and multiple voting?

No wonder you guys always take Illinois when there's a Daley in charge!
