The Bush campaign has not requested a manual recount in any county.
The Bush campaign recognizes that manual recount opens each ballot up to
interpretation as to the "intentions of the voter." As such, it would be unfair to
only do this in counties that are Democratic. It would have to be done in all
counties, in the interest of fairness.
Unfortuantely with 6 * 10^6 ballots out there, this prospect is distasteful.
Moreover, given the huge risks of human error and voter fraud in such a process, the
Bush campaign feels that both sides should simply agree to stick by the unbiased
machine recount (which either side might conceivably have won.)
I am unaware of the reports that you site that Seminole conducted a manual recount.
If, in fact, Bush benefitted by 91 votes from manual recount there, I suspect that
Bush (as woudl I), would more than happily not count those 91 votes.
