So what does the recount entail?
All the ballots will be manually examined for the hanging chads, stray marks, duplicate votes. marks outside the bubble in order to determine voter’s intent and then rerun through a ballot machine. Then the totals will be final, once everyone agrees on the ballots submitted and run through the machine.
