3. sounds like she has an excellent point . . .

take, for example, the 2002 elections in Georgia . . . while the final counts weren't within 1% of each other in, say, Max Cleland's Senate race, the swing in the vote from the most recent polls to the actual vote count was pretty dramatic . . . but if these totals didn't hit the 1% margin to kick in the recount, we'd never know if the vote was rigged against Cleland or not . . .

one question that I don't know the answer to: can individual candidates demand a recount regardless of the vote margin? . . . anyone? . . .
