We will need volunteers to observe the recount in every county in Michigan. Let us know below if you are interested in helping and receiving more information on how you can do so.

So it sounds like a hand recount to me, otherwise why would they need monitors to watch a software program do anything?

If you live in one of the three states, and can help, they have links on the site to volunteer with the recount efforts.
