The meeting grew heated at times. Here, Republican board chair Tony Daunt faced off with a recount attorney.
“This is a fishing expedition.”
“That is a pre-judgement, sir, and I find that offensive.”
Daunt said the recounts will be closely watched to make sure they stay in bounds.

One reason for the skepticism is the partial recounts have no chance of reversing the results that added abortion rights and voting rights amendments to the state constitution – but could be used to fuel election conspiracies.
