Reply #59: Optical scan is good, as long as the paper ballots are retained

[MineralMan]

properly and can be checked. Does your state compare machine results with hand counts in test precincts? Minnesota does. So far, all those tests have shown an accurate count. Why do you believe your optical scanning hardware is compromised? Is there any evidence of that? Or are you just speculating because you don't like the results you've seen?

What triggers a recount in your state? Is there a threshold that causes an automatic recount? Can a candidate demand a recount? There are so many questions, and I feel like I'm having to pull the answers out of you, one by one. You have not described the process. You've just named the systems.
