Re: Hand Recounts of votes recorded on DREs
As Ted says:

That translates to a "lost vote" rate of 0.3%, which is still
well below the unexplaned "residual" vote rate of 3-5% (at times
as high as 9%) with the unrecountable touchscreen systems.
Also note that Cast Vote Records are not demonstrably equivalent
to the ballots that the voters cast, hence they do not constitute
a "recount," only a "reprint" of GIGO generated by the computer.
