im confused on this, didnt they do like three recounts??

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Recounts only matter if you're counting all the ballots instead of just the ballots you want you count because your brother happens to be one of the candidates. They invalidated a bunch of ballots that were hole-punched because the paper that was punched out didn't completely tear away (see: "hanging chad").
