Big update.  In the midst of dueling letters, incriminating affidavits, hearings, and investigations, it helps to remember that there IS a recount going on.  Updates on the recount are below the fold and are from the Cobb site.

As I understand it, 3% of the ballots are choosen at random...they count those and then put them through the machine.  The law states that if they don't "match" there must be an entire reount.  However, as you'll read below, the concept of "match" is pretty ephemeral.
