12. IMO the only way to get the "actual vote count"

is to hand count paper ballots.

So I'm in full agreement with your post, even if it means that Alan West actually won in FL. There, some optiscan malfunctioning supposedly deprived West of a number of votes, so he has crept closer to Murphy.

Here's what Bradblog has to say about it: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9724#more-9724
