Reply #2: Ballots must be counted 'by hand', by a person. It is totally unacceptable [View All]

merely to re-process ballots through any form of electronic scanning.

What must happen is, to the extent that actual ballots (punch cards, pieces of paper) exist in any OH county, that they be counted by a person (as has been happening in WA State).

Then, a comparison can be made to what resides in each County's database from the original tabulation (on or after 2 Nov 2004).

To the extent that we can force an investigation, separate from the act of manually counting the ballots, those ballots that had been electronically scanned, should be scanned again and the results compared both to the hand count and to the output of the tabulators associated with each scanner.

It is reasonable to say -- forget about any vote cast on a device without a physical (paper) record generated at the time the person voted. Any pretense to any credible value of votes stored only as electrons is not "OZ"; it's bullshit.

Peace.
