What I recall were the following issues:

1.) The reporters from the Miami Herald visited three counties with Op-Scan methods to test Dopp's analysis, this was done just before Thanksgiving. Neither of the two were the Herald's political reporters.

2.) The reviewed precincts likely selected by the local BOE, they only complete review of their samples in two of the three counties.

3.) Review of the ballots indicated a spoilage of 0.3 or 1% within the precincts. There was a great deal of confusion on this.

4.) The reporters were invited to Thanksgiving Dinner by one of the BOE heads.

There is no reason to expect that their limited sample shows anything. The actions taken appear to have been prompted by the BOEs or some relationship between the reporters and the BOEs. The counties surveyed were not ones that I would have selected to test Dopp's analysis, as all were small in population, and electorally insignificant. If you were expecting vote theft, it would be in the larger counties, such as the one where Jacksonville is. These were too small to have anyplace to hide it.
