As I was one of the recounters in the 2004 WA gubernatorial election, these rules are correct. It really was pretty straightforward to figure out intent, nobody got cross-eyed peering at holes in punchcards.

The fix came in with ballots that were "found" after the first count was done on Election Day. Hopefully, Coleman's got some folks familiar with those shenanigans, and is keeping an eye on recount ballot counts, versus original ballot counts.

My problem is with the "mail in" vote and it is now "huge". If you're a registered Republican and sent in your vote, how do you know it was counted??

Change the day at the polls to a Saturday. And "Absentee" means you're out of Town....not sitting in a bar two blocks away from the polling place because "you don't wanna stand in line".....or whatever excuse you have.

Everything attached to voting is getting chaotic...ballots in different languages, illegals voting, criminals voting, all different times...

In a Federal Election, all rules should be absolutely consistent....and ALL ballots should be in English.
