Bush v. Gore established that partial recounts were violations of the 14th amendment. That would apply across the board -- federal, state, local.

I'm not convinced, AD.....though you always were smarter than I.....

I believe that the ruling in Bush vs Gore was per curiam and hence, established nothing.... a one time only deal.

The manual recount will NOT stop on counties the democRATS want recounted if the current winner comes up losing. IOW if the election flips to democRAT Gregoire because of the partial recount, then the state of Washington is required to recount the entire state. OTOH if the partial recount requested by Gregoire still has Dino Rossi winning, then tax payers will be spared the extra expense of remaining recount.
