131. It's OK, a Republican partisan judge will rule that NO LAW has been broken
because that will make this whole fiasco lawful, get it? The law only counts when it supports Republican endeavors!

The fact that the tabulator could not correctly count the votes is not important, even though it is the actual basis for the law stipulating that the whole county would then have to be recounted!

The Republicans will allege that the intent of the law was to see if the tabulator could correctly recount on the actual Election Day and in the actual conditions it was used, and since they said it worked correctly then, it should not mean anything that it doesn't work correctly now!

This would be a strict reading of the law twisted into radical, Orwellian interpretation of the law!

Even most Republicans should have a hard time with this legal maneuver that runs counter to their own judicial logic.
