I'm pretty sure that will end up in court as it should if that is the case. They are claiming state law doesn't allow a recount if the ballot numbers are different. The entire reason the numbers are different is because the machines fucked up.

That ruling won't stand it will be taken down in court, because it's an asinine law. Their state supreme court will rule the law violates the intent and there will be a recount of ballots.

They can't allow a "known" bad count to stand because of a law that was written in good intent but worked out against that good intent. They are outright stating they "know" the original count was bad due to faulty and jammed machines. There is no fucking way in hell that "bad" count will stand.

If would end up in federal court if they try.
