the democrats as a group seem to want to sandbag the republicans with last minute changes generally in favor of the democrats as proposed by the admin (a charming young ******* whose sympathies seem to lie with the Ds)
the republicans seem to be operating without explicit guidance by trump lawyers. one guy (spinell) cell phone is constantly ringing. i would imagine a trump lawyer could be at the other end of the line. too little too late? things were going hot and heavy for several hours without any breaks. someone should imho have suggested a 30 minute break.
admin recommended to strike the part that said ballots that did not include an address. republicans don’t like striking that. democrats say that is reflecting law. republicans say leave it alone under fair play don’t make last minute changes.
all motions to change the 2018 manual fail (generally all on 3-3 votes). so the 2018 manual stands (flaws and all).
(if the manual differs from the law then it’s likely to be a matter for the courts if the recount proceeds)
now considering public health (covid19) concerns which were apparently broken off.
