Which as you know that is going to happen, that will reveal nelson will get upwards of 10,000 more votes and it could reverse the statewide outcome. if they are wrong, though, if it is that design issue we talked about, bill nelson is plum out of luck it would look like, his gap here statewide, 12,600 votes now and change. the idea of that changing clearly, you saw how little it changed in the machine recount. unlikely a manual recount is going to reap any kind of shift of that magnitude. so it ...
