It is interesting and important to educate oneself in matters such as these in terms of how the ballots are tallied and handled in a very professional way now.
It helps deal with the trolls that usually put up at least one or two comments on each thread related to recount discussions as to how during recounts bogus ballots will be trucked in en masse or ballots will be fiddled with or other nefarious tactics until the Dems win. This really makes the discussions more negative and polarizing than they should be.
What? You don’t remember how demoncrats needed three recounts and mysteriously “found” a final box of uncounted ballots that came from someone’s home to beat Norm Coleman in Minnesota?
