Electronic voting/Recounts..Questions

[Ani Yun Wiya]

Have any election laws been adjusted to reflect how to conduct recounts in an electronic environment?
And exactly how and what would be recounted if there is no paper involved?

How did the "uncounted votes" issue in Florida 2000 become a method of sacking paper ballots?

1. Uncounted votes in Florida became a method of sacking

paper ballots the same way the following occurred:

-permission to continue/increase pollution became the "Clean Skies Initiative"

-gutting public schools to provide money for vouchers for the religious right became "No Child Left Behind"

2. Yes

Election laws in some states, such as Georgia, have made the only "legal" vote the "electronic" vote.

In those states, recounts would have to be done by the same machines that had produced errors or possibly fraudulent results. Thus, there is no way to find out, let alone prove, that any vote fraud had taken place (if it had). Clever, huh?

I don't quite understand what you mean by your last question, so I'll leave it alone.
