27. Actually, I would expect them to be perfect

Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 02:57 PM by mostly_lurking

My understanding is that undervotes and overvotes have been removed from this process (and only ballots that initially registered a vote are being counted). In such a case I would fully expect most of the 3% manual counts to be perfect. The only exceptions would be due to ballets that have become "soiled" (i.e. an extra chad was knocked out (rare), or a card was folded, etc.)
