Republican wants Ballots recounted BY HAND?

Candidate opposed to recount method
Front-runner: Hand count more likely to turn up errors

LIBERTY, Ind. -- At first, Republican sheriff candidate Terry Cornett wasn't worried about a recount of his 13-vote primary victory over fellow Republican Barry Boggs.

Cornett, though, changed his mind Friday and filed a petition opposing the recount. Boggs asked for recount of all 10 precincts on Monday. In his petition, Cornett said he originally thought votes in the recount would be counted as they were in the general election -- by the scanners and the computers.

A hand count, which Boggs has requested, would have a greater error rate than the new machines the county bought, Cornett said.

"I believe Mr. Boggs is trying to circumvent the process by demanding a manual (hand count) of the ballots to gain entry to office," Cornett said.

Boggs said there were irregularities in this election that were human issues, such as the overriding of undervotes on some absentee ballots.

How the heck does THAT work?

because if I try you'll be more confused than you where before you asked the question.

There are more errors made by the machines operated by humans than human handcounts.

Undervotes on a machine means the machine can't read the mark, when a human looking at it can easly tell how the voter voted.
