I see what you mean but find these steps to be disjointed and subject to more than one interpretation.

Step a) of the Recount section seems to be more of a standard to use when doing a manual count than a step with substance. It doesn't say which ballots you're dealing with at this point (3% or whole county) and it doesn't say how this step relates to the other steps.

Steps d), e) and f) seem to me to be the substance of the recount. They seem to be talking about all the ballots of the 3% precincts, not all the ballots minus the under and over votes.

I guess I'll look back at the statute to see if it clears up my questions because these steps leave me with more questions than answers.
