Rob covered this issue in large part yesterday while I was on the road, but as a second-day followup I wanted to highlight what could be a major - and until now, largely unrealized - problem with the administration of elections in major urban counties that vote heavily Democratic.
Michigan's recount has obviously hit some major legal hurdles, but it's also hit a huge administrative one: Wayne County, which votes overwhelmingly Democratic and is Michigan's largest county, can't seem to reconcile the hand count of ballots with what the voting machines indicated. And it's not even close, with 59 percent of precincts showing the discrepancy.
