For the recount, election officials in 110 locations across the state will analyze by hand each of the nearly 3 million ballots to determine voters' intent. (Minnesota uses optical scanners, and many voters haphazardly filled in the intended ovals, didn't do so at all or otherwise improperly marked their ballots.)
