Seriously? They will keep counting until they get the result they want?
I look at it another way, the AZ Senate wants to make certain that the dims can’t scream fraud.
Not that they won’t anyway.
Just a guess, but in my early years with the state, we had to hand tabulate everything (this was before PCs and Lotus 1-2-3!). When I was totaling my batches every day, I had to run at least 2 tapes. If the totals matched, I was good.
If the totals differed, then I had to keep running tapes until I had 2 that matched. There were times I’d have to total it on an adding machine 5 or 6 times before I got 2 that matched.
I’m thinking the same principle here; there’s 2 different amounts so which is right? It’s not likely the same hand totaling mistake would be made twice, so whichever total they get twice wins.
That was my first thought., we don’t want politicians anywhere near those ballots.
BUT Since for sure the audit is going to show less numbers of real ballots and lots of compromised ballots, And the liberals are going to cry that it wasn’t counted correctly, maybe the third count is a good idea. If it’s substantiate the audit, there could be less politicians saying it’s wrong.
