20. Why have the totals changed so significantly?
There is up to an 11% difference between what was officially counted and what was recounted. That seems significant on its own.

What is up with these numbers in general? What are they supposed to represent? If you started with 745 votes, when you recount, shouldn't you also have 745 votes when you are finishing recounting - not 695 votes. What happened to the 50 votes (6% decrease) during the recount Shouldn't it just be a matter of redistribution?

Even though the recount doesn't better the count for Kerry, my question is why have the numbers changed so significantly. What am I missing?
