Report by Green Party Observer
Henry County started and completed their recount on Tuesday, December 14. They had four counting stations and we had four witnesses.
After the count, I had phone conversations with R and the other three witnesses. They all felt that the process had gone OK. The three percent analysis resulted in no discrepancies, so the rest of the county was completed by machine.

As I mentioned in my phone message Tuesday, there were some problems with the hand count in Henry County but they appeared to be due to human error. The overall number still matched, but Bush had been given two extra votes and Kerry two less than the machine count.
However, since part of the problem was contained in reading the overvotes it could not be found right away. Countywide, Bush and Kerry each gained one vote from election night. County officials were cooperative.
I asked the Directors in both Henry and Fulton counties whether Triad had been out to service the tabulators after the election and both said no.
The Director for Fulton told me that Triad is able to reprogram the computer to count only the Presidential ballots by remote dial-up. I do not know when after the election that occurred.
