Elections workers hand count ballots in Balink's test

El Paso County Election workers, Tuesday, began the gruelling task of hand counting hundreds of ballots. The workers will count about 520 ballots, the average per voting precinct for El Paso County, from the 2006 election.

El Paso County Cleark and Recorder Bob Balink says, "This is going to take maybe two or three days for some of these hand counts to take place here." The hand count is a test of sorts and it puts man versus machine. Balink wants to know how the results will compare to results obtained from the county's voting machines.
