Reply #10: WHAT? Opti-Scan ballots may not be hand counted without a court order!

[eowyn_of_rohan]

HEre you go, folks:

p.16
OPTICAL SCAN TABULATING EQUIPMENT
may be reprogrammed to count only votes cast in the office being recounted, or only the botes cast for a referendum if the recount concerns a ref question.

After being regested in Step #8 by the board of canvassers and the candidates or their representatives the ballots will be re-tabulated by the optical scan equipment. The ballots may not be hand counted without a court order. Wis Stat 5.90 (2)_
