Reply to comment by Shufflebuzz in Recount flips Mass. House election to Democrat by 1 vote by TurretLauncher

If I counted 123 grapes and upon counting again I had 124 grapes, I’d have to count at least a third time, to feel confident in my count. With such a close discrepancy, I might count a total of 5 times to feel confident in the count. I know it doesn’t shed a good light on our voting systems. The damage has already been done.

More like if you had a machine that counted 120 green grapes, and 115 red grapes, and then a team of 4 people who took out one grape at a time and decided to count it as red or green (or neither). You already had four people evaluate each one.
