Recount Rules: If the 3 percent sample match, recount is over?
Is that true?

from wcpo.com

Focus Again On Hamilton County Over Vote Re-Count

...If no discrepancies are found in the three-percent sample recount, the entire Hamilton County recount would be over.

that the guy fixed the machine for.

2. Don't worry, that's not the case......
The 3% is to check the accuracy of the machines (so this should be interesting). They first count 3% by hand, then run the same ones through a machine(s?) and see if they get the same results. If they do, then they use machines to count the remaining 97%, if not then they have to hand-count the remaining 97%.

3. I didn't understand the rule that way. I think that just means it isn't
required to be a hand count at that point. Better to read the rule again.
