3. This is Confusing.
Sorry if I'm being a dunce. But I can't figure out some things.

How is automated counting more accurate than hand counting? I would think it's the other way around. Yeah, they indicate two ballots possibly stuck together, but that doesn't mean automated counting is always more accurate.

The other thing is that the one who discovered the "anomaly" was a Republican, and--if I'm reading the link correctly--the automated count of the hand recount "proved" the Republican to be correct. So is it not possible that the automated counting merely reversed the correct total?
