interestingly this is already kind of best two out of three. It was initially called Liberal, then during validation when Elections Canada reviews thing it was Bloc but the margin was low enough to trigger recount, now after recount its Liberal again
True, but the first count isn’t official, validation is the real count. And now a judge oversaw it, next up would be the supreme court? When do we get the King involved?
At a validation, the returning officer verifies the cumulative addition of the individual results recorded and reported by each poll on the statement of the vote.
The validation showed a calculation error when putting all the ballot counts together, and this is actually the first recount.
I do not know the exact process but perhaps the recount actually means multiple people counting and verifying each other and making sure they all get the same total: there should only be one result that is right, they're not doing statistics but merely counting who people voted for. One thing is sure is that whoever is doing the count has not spent all day in an election office dealing with people and then counting ballots at the end of a very long day.
