Preliminary Report by Green Party Observer

The recount ran very smoothly today, with only a few glitches that did not affect the outcome, which was that the manual count of 3% of the precincts matched the machine count. By now the counting of the remaining ballots by machine is probably complete.

A few of us will return tomorrow to inspect the poll signature books and absentee and provisional ballots for the same precincts counted today. So chances are good that we will finish sometime tomorrow.
