As this shows yet again, Poliquin has heard his party's "question voting systems" demand loud and clear, so he's doing just that by continuing to make his false claims about how ranked choice is "chaotic" and how this recount is needed because people were confused by that awful ranked choice thing... which, again, isn't true at all. I'm not sure how a recount will change his hatred of ranked choice voting, and the claims that a recount is needed because the supposed (not real) "black box" computer systems which counted the vote were human-made databases that don't sound like they were particularly complex really somehow is a problem that a full paper recount will fix?
I don't really get it, but the way he is challenging the concept of voting is right in line with Trump's comments these last few months, and that's the real point here: challenge voting systems whenever you can, in order to make people less trusting in our democracy because that helps discourage liberals from voting.
All of that aside, yes, a full paper recount will be an interesting thing to see the results of. How close will it be to the machine count? If they go through with the full recount, it'll be interesting to see how close the results are to the machine count.
