A good tweak of Virginia’s new recount law would specify a recounting standard.
The state should recount the ballots available to be rerun through machines. A too-vague standard in the new law instead allows counting totals from machines unless three judges divine the machines appear to have flawed counts.
Different types of machines have different problems, but the optical scan devices should have a clearer standard for recounts that errs on the side of actually recounting.
Amen.
