ballots that haven't been properly counted that it won't change the outcome given the margin right now. >> that's exactly right. honestly, when you talk to republicans and democrats privately, they are very clear eyed about that prospect. there still needs to be some sort of massive issue with this vote counting process that we have yet to uncover. there's the possibility in a broward county where there was a certain number of under votes and over votes that weren't attributed to the senate race. perhaps that will be uncovered in the recount process. at this point, we need to make it clear, if this thing changes, it would be something that's never happened. >> the deadlines are when? >> thursday will be the machine count recount deadline. they will then take a second look at the numbers.
