To: seekthetruth; deport; smoothsailing
Walker's legal rebuttal states she doesn't have the authority to order a recount. That is spelled out in state law, which says only an election decided by 0.5 percent or less triggers an automatic recount. What happened Sunday, Walker has said, technically is a "retabulation," which a supervisor can perform at her discretion when possible errors exist in vote counting.

She partially recounted ballots on Sunday and is calling it a "retabulation" rather than a "recount" on a technicality. She's playing word games.

FWIU partial recounts or retabulations are illegal under Florida law. If you recount some of the ballots, you have to recount all of the ballots. And this was the second partial recount, the first being on election night.
