Reply #38: Mandatory recounts are critical

[truckin]

I totally agree that mandatory recounts are essential or having voter verified paper ballots is meaningless. I would suggest a mandatory recount of 5% of the ballots with 3% random and with each major party selecting 1% of the precincts of their choice. If in the future there are other parties with a meaningful % of the votes the 2% selected recounts could be split between the number of parties in the race.

When you have a document that is ready to submit to CA, please share it with everyone on DU. This is a great idea and we should try to implement legislation with recommendations like this in every state. I am in Connecticut and would be willing to coordinate the effort here. Thanks for your effort in this issue.
