What does the above mean?!

Magisterial recount must mean all boxes have been counted! Never ever heard of a magisterial recount of less than all boxes - all votes!

All valid boxes.

The matter of validity is an election petition matter, not a magisterial recount matter. Mag. recount is only of the votes taken in the Final count.

Get wid di programme, nuh! LoL

You have not even approached the question?

Let me ask you the question in a different way - If a magisterial recount is a re-checking of all boxes with legitimate votes only being tabulated, how then did this magistrate count only some of the boxes and not all of the boxes...or, did she?

Valid boxes = boxes which were assigned to secure votes and were used to secure votes.

My understanding is 2 boxes assigned to secure votes and were, in fact, used to secure votes had not been counted by those responsible to effect a preliminary vote and or those assigned to effect the normal first re-count under the supervision of the officer so required by the Constitution and law.

Lazie's post above did not clear the air on whether or not the magistrate had carried out a count after such preliminary count and mandated re-count referenced above had first taken place.

Reread my answer!

The votes in the 2 boxes have a chain of custody question! Election petition to determine the validity!

Mag. recount ONLY for the votes counted in the final count. It is merely a math. recheck plus spoil ballot check. It does not encroach on NEW ballots not counted in the final count. Procedural matter.

I thought otherwise - I thought a magisterial re-count had built in rule/regulation/law/constitution mandated - all boxes and votes there-in must be counted and determination made on validity of each vote....with final figures of same authenticated by the Magistrate.
