Constitutionally speaking, the vote count is irrellevant, the recount is irrelevant, the 'election' was irrelevant and flawed in the first place, and any "recount" of the flawed election (without county wide standards of having humans examine and determine a voter's will) is irrelevant (and lastly, the voter's will is irrelevant and just as valid as what the state determined it to be in the original count, being that its up to them).

Truthfully speaking, the only way to represent 'the people' which isn't a constitutional requirement in an election anyway, was to have a revote. Without being able to finish that by the 20th, the legislature would of just picked Bush anyway. The SCOTUS said that essentially the people's right to vote isn't guarenteed and can be suspended by the state, and there was no way the state could have accurately recounted without any sort of standards in place.
