SARASOTA RECOUNT: PART 2-"Machines always count better than humans..."

The DOUBLE RECOUNT MADNESS CONTINUES with Golden insights into Sarasota S.O.E KATHY DENT'S curious management style and various expressions of disgust!

Canvassing Board pulls out a calculator to tally precinct recount totals and can't manage the calculator. Dent uses her own "human error" to profess to all who witness "Machines always count better than humans..." and then in the VERY same breath, cites an early voting precint with a whopping undervote of 1,115!

Absentee recount scanner "flips" one vote from Christine Jennings (D) to Vern Buchanan (R) while camera rolls/ Dent attempts to reconcile this and doesn't/ can't. Kathy Dent's husband runs around with full access behind the lines, fetching Dent her Diet Cokes.

Susan Pynchon, Director of the Florida Fair Elections Coalition-who misses nothing-responds to reporter's questions about the State's recount procedure.

Kathy Dent, in another one of her awkward press conferences, announces FINAL results of RECOUNT to the PRESS and offers no explanation for the undervote to the media, who don't even ask for one.

Hayden Dempsey, Buchanan's shifty lawyer, makes being wrong about everything look so easy. "Touch Screen Voting" promo sign that hangs in the Sarasota Board of Elections Terrace office is in both english and spanish.

Yes. This one is CHOCKED full of DENT-y goodness...
