Did you know this about recounts?

[kuozzman]

Election workers will have to count 3 percent of the ballots by hand and then run the same ones through scanning machines. If the results match, workers will run every ballot through the machines. If the results do not match after two tries, Ottawa County workers will be forced to count each of the 23,468 ballots by hand.

I didn't know that was the process. Wonder how it usually goes?(the 3% test)

1. They don't get two tries on the machine

They count the ballots by hand and then run them through the machine. If the results are different, they hand-count again. If the results are still different, they have to count the whole county by hand.
