Edit to add:

I stand corrected (and a little shocked)

In North Carolina, candidates are not allowed to request a recount for any reason other than "close margins".

So if there was any physical interefence with machines, or ballots, or anything that might be done to "ruin" the integrity of the results, we're out of luck in N.C.

Yes, they will actually be publishing the audits results after the recount request deadline... Think. Again. Nov 17 #6

Yes, but they cannot be acted on until the results exist. MineralMan Nov 17 #8

I have looked them up and posted them in a post above if you're interested. Think. Again. Nov 17 #11

All but nine counties have completed their canvass. Those counties will finish on Monday. onenote Nov 17 #7
