Stupid Question! Who gets to pick the hand recounters?
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Sun Jan-13-08 03:10 AM by 2rth2pwr
Do we end up with people whose only job is to fly around and do recounts? Do we pick from local population randomly, like jury selection? Do the entrenched clubby political parties choose? Who makes sure the subtotals, when transfered , by hand, to the tally sheets are transfered correctly? And do those numbers ever get transfered to a computer? How do you stop infiltrators? What if the counters are the same people who hacked the voting machines? What do you do when you can't trust the recount?
