Knudson (R):
manual existed in its current (2018?) form when the petitioner (trump?) put down his money to pay for the recount. therefore as a matter of fairness, the manual should not change.
also, no statutory changes, therefore no manual changes.
glancey (D) cant take a system that is functioning in 2020 and go back to the way things were in 1980.
spinell (R) motion seconded.
third (R) lady agrees.
thomsen (D) opposes.
knudsen: how are absentee ballot requests checked? is there a log, or email, or both? what is saved?
admin: there can be an email or a fax which is sent to the system which creates a log. the log is the record and not the email.
R: this is an untenable system. however, we should not change any rules now about how to recount.
spinell (R) move forward, leave as is.
jacobs: (D) if we are wrong then it is incumbent upon us to say we are wrong.
jacobs (D)— email requests will get signature examination but wisvote will not. however, a small subset of voters. however, not equal treatment. we were wrong in 2016 and now also in 2020.
(...)
jacobs:
petitioner (if they are paying attention) has the option to withdraw their recount request and get a full refund.
(are trump lawyers listening? paying attention?)
Fascinating!
