    They can only recount absentee ballots?

    That’s something that should really be fixed

    Edit: Being able to audit the full process is important for preserving transparency in elections.

      I thought the same thing. I went looking and found a whole trail of articles on it. Louisiana actually tried in years past, but internal state politics and bid rigging killed their efforts.

      Louisiana is possibly the most corrupt state in the entire country, I don’t think they’d ever even come close to changing that
