>>>If Miss Dem wants to reopen the case, I demand that a REAL recount take place, from the ground up, with an examination of each vote and voter — not one of these retotaling the precinct totals farces.
We vote by secret ballot in this country. How do you propose we tie votes to voters in a recount.
I don’t think that is possible or desirable. The court’s role should be limited to finding whether the process was a) clean or b) tainted by fraud or error. If tainted, a do-over should be the only remedy — not games of chance. Proving that all the votes were legit and counted as cast is impossible; but, developing evidence of sufficient irregularities to potentially change the outcome would be doable and definitive. Therefore, I’d want to see independent verification of credentials for all (or at least many) who cast votes, and whether any “voters” who “signed in” deny actually voting (my suspicion being that corrupt insiders sometimes gin up absentee ballots, steer cheats to cast votes for those unlikely to show up, or cast some ballots themselves and doctor the rolls. I find it impossible to believe that zero votes were cast by unqualified voters, identity fraudsters, nursing home ghouls, etc., and that all absentee votes that should have been counted really were.
