Bowen probably needs support in reeling in recalcitrant county officials.

There's supposed to be a 1% audit with mandatory reporting and escalations. That's about 250 precincts.

To reverse an outcome with a margin of 4%, you'd have to shift 20% of the vote in about 1,250 precincts--more votes in fewer precincts; less votes in more precincts. The chance of finding at least one is damn near close to 100% with a 1% manually tally.

That's what what I'm told, anyhow.
