72. But to date, because of Blackwell's tactics,
there has been no true recount of anything. Why wasn't THAT anticipated?

Even Phillips' analysis lists these 3 counties as the greatest potential source of Kerry votes. Instead Blackwell has been allowed to hand pick 3% of the state and we're no further along than we were before.

If we could find major screw-ups in those 3 counties, amounting to thousands of votes, that could lead to a full count with a smaller margin to overcome. Instead, Kerry picked up 300 votes! And LOOK what the media did with THAT!

Was this all foreseeable? I don't know, but the bottom line, looking at the results is that nothing has changed and that's a pity.
